Mixing detergent and oil is generally not recommended, as detergents are designed to emulsify and break down oils, which can lead to inconsistent results in cleaning or processing. If you're referring to mixing a detergent with a specific type of oil, such as cooking oil, it may not produce the desired effect and could create an undesirable mixture. Always refer to product guidelines for the best practices in mixing substances.

How can we make oil and water mix together?
Shake vigorously (this is the techique used to mix a bottle of salad dressing, which does normally include both oil and water - water being the main component of vinegar). Doing this does not actually cause the oil and water to combine but breaks the oil up into tiny droplets and disburses them in the water. If you want to actually cause them to mix, you must add something like soap, to destroy the surface tension of the bubbles.
Why is it difficult to wash an oily plate with cold water without soap or detergent?
Oil is a nonpolar substance and water is a polar substance, so the water can't mix with or dissolve the oil.
Why does cooking oil firm clumps in water but dissolves in detergent?
Cooking oil forms clumps in water because it is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and does not mix well with it. In contrast, when mixed with detergent, the oil dissolves because detergents contain molecules with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. The hydrophilic part interacts with water, while the hydrophobic part interacts with the oil, allowing the two substances to mix more effectively. This process helps break down the oil into smaller droplets, making it easier to disperse in water.
Explain how liquid detergent emulsifies coconut oil and water?
Liquid detergent consists of a hydrophilic sulphurous head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail. When detergent is added to coconut oil and water, the head dissolves in water and the tail dissolves in the oil. When the water is agitated, the coconut oil begins to emulsify because the charges on the surface of the coconut oil are now the same, repelling each other, forming globules.
How detergent changes an oil water suspension into an emulsion?
Oil and water do not mix when detergent is added. What really happens is that (in the usual case) the detergent (which has "oil-like" and "water-like" parts to each molecule) causes the oil to disperse through the water in tiny droplets which have the detergent on the surface of the droplets, making them much more stable than tiny droplets of oil would be in water. The detergent is usually charged, which makes the droplets repel each other, preventing the tiny oil droplets from reuniting into larger droplets, which is what happens if you vigorously shake an oil water mixture, like salad dressing - that's why oil and vinegar salad dressing has to be used right after preparation. Oil, water, and detergent is still not a true mixture, since the oil and the water are not really "mixed" in the true sense of the word, but they appear mixed to the eye since the oil particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye. There is one more requirement for this apparent "mixing" after adding detergent: there has to be a LOT more water or a LOT more oil in the mixture. You can't make an apparent mixture of a 50:50 blend of oil and water by adding detergent, for example. This means that you can have tiny droplets of water surrounded by detergent in a large amount of oil as well as the more usual case outlined above. That is called a "reverse emulsion" while the more common case above is a "simple emulsion." It's also the reason why detergent is effective to clean clothes. It "emulsifies" the oils (which soiled clothes are contaminated with) allowing them to be flushed away. Zentrails
Why does detergent allow oil and water to mix?
The detergent molecule contains both nonpolar hydrophobic parts that mix with oil and polar hydrophilic parts that mix with water.
How do you get oil and water to mix?
add detergent
Does water and oil mix with dish washing detergent?
Dish washing detergent can help water and oil mix because it has surfactants that bind to both water and oil molecules, allowing them to mix together. This helps to lift grease and oil off dishes during the washing process.
Oil and water both have a strong surface tension and the bonds pull inward so that they do not mix Keisha adds detergent to the oil and water and they appear to mix what happened?
The detergent molecule bridges the gap since it's attracted to both the water and oil.
If water and oil don't mix what can make them mix together?
Put detergent inside the container to make them mixed.
Can you mix water and oil?
Yes, by adding a surfactant which is detergent. it acts by attaching the polar water with its head and the non polar oil by its tail. so they mix
What happens when you mix laundry detergent and water?
When you mix laundry detergent and water, the detergent molecules attach to dirt and oil particles, breaking them up and making them easier to wash away. This process is known as emulsification, where the detergent helps to lift and suspend dirt in the water to be rinsed away.
What do detergents do to a mixture of oil and water?
They cause them to mix. The detergent particles have an oil-soluble end which sticks into the oil, and a water soluble end which is attracted to the water. When enough detergent particles surround an oil droplet, it will move off into the water.
Will water and oil mix with or without detergent?
Due to the differing densities of water and oil they will not mix without an emulsifying agent. An emulsifier is something which can combine things which on their own cannot be mixed. E.g. in terms of cleaning, a detergent is used to mix the water and oils/grease. In terms of cooking/baking, an egg is a common emulsifier for mixing oil and water; the production of cakes, mayonnaise, etc..
Detergent or non detergent oil on a TRX250 ATV?
It has to be a non detergent oil

Detergent! Do not use non-detergent oil.
