What else can I help you with?
Can oil be separated from water by evaporation?
yes
What liquid would stop water evaporation?
A layer of oil can be used to prevent water evaporation by creating a barrier on the water's surface. This barrier reduces the rate at which water molecules can escape into the air, effectively slowing down the process of evaporation.
When water turns into gas it is known as what?
Evaporation.
Is water evaporation into the atmosphere a chemical?
Water evaporation is a physical process.
What are two sources of water for evaporation in the water cycle?
The sources for evaporation of water are:1. Water bodies.2. Plants.The transpiration from plants helps in evaporation.
What is sprayed on surface water to reduce evaporation?
An oil reduce evaporation.
Can oil be separated from water by evaporation?
yes

Does oil affect the rate of evaporation?
Yes, oil can affect the rate of evaporation by creating a barrier on the surface of water, reducing the rate at which water molecules can escape into the air. This barrier can slow down evaporation by blocking the exchange of water molecules between the liquid and gas phases.
Why you do not use evaporation to separate oil from water?
this is because it does not decompose by heating
Does oil prevent water evaporation?
Oil evaporates very slowly. Oil doesn't mix with water, and most oils are less dense than water. So oil floats on top of water, and usually makes a very thin layer, covering all the water you have, or else it spreads out until the oil layer is just one or two molecules thick and you run out of oil. When the oil is covering the water, it prevents water molecules from evaporating, just like putting a lid on a jar.
What is the control if salted water is evaporated?
After the evaporation of a salted water salt remain as a solid residue.
What would you put in water so it doesnt evaporate?
A bit of oil on the surface reduce water evaporation.
Can you separate cooking oil from water using evaporation?
It is more simple to use a separation funnel.
What does density have to do with oil spills?
Oil varies considerably in density. Some oil is so thick that it sinks in water. However, it is very uncommon for an oil well to produce very heavy oil. A light oil will have higher rates of evaporation, which means that some of the oil will be lost due to evaporation when it is on the surface. For evaporation, the density or really the composition of the oil is an important factor. Water temperature, air temperature, hours of sunlight, and wave action are additional factors. Loss by evaporation was considerably higher in the BP oil spill than in the Alaskan oil spill (Exxon-Valdez spill). Note that the Alaskan spill, the oil was low density. BP used controlled burns to destroy some of the oil. If the oil was heavier and there was more wave action, this might not have been possible.
How could evaporation and settling be use to separate a mixture?
1. Separation of table salt from ocean water by evaporation of water; sodium chloride remain as a crystallized solid.2. Separation of oil from water: two phases are formed. The oil from the surface can be separated and collected with the help of a separation funnel.
When water turns into gas it is known as what?
