No, most oil is not soluble in water. Oil is hydrophobic, or "water fearing."

This goes for all lipids.

There are some water miscible oils but they are rare and typically only used in very specialty situations.

Is monoglyceride soluble in water?

Monoglycerides are partially soluble in water due to their hydrophilic (water-loving) head groups. However, their long hydrophobic (water-fearing) tails make them more soluble in nonpolar solvents such as oils.

Does borax dissolve in oils?

Borax does not dissolve in oils as it is a water-soluble compound. Mixing borax with oils will result in the borax staying as solid particles separate from the oil phase.


An organic compound that is not soluble in water?

One example of an organic compound that is not soluble in water is oil. Oil is composed of nonpolar molecules that do not interact well with water molecules, resulting in limited solubility. This lack of solubility is due to the differences in polarity between the nonpolar oil molecules and the polar water molecules.
