The main intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds which are pretty strong as far as intermolecular forces go. Between hydrocarbon chains (oil) the main intermolecular force are London force which are weaker. For two liquids to be miscible the intermolecular forces between them have to be similar in strength or they won't dissolve. Water and oil have different strengths of intermolecular bonds so don't mix.
What else can I help you with?
Name a molecule that does not dissolve well in water?
oil does not dissolve at all in water.
Does salad oil dissolve in water?
No, salad oil is not soluble in water. Salad oil is a nonpolar substance, while water is polar. Since like dissolves like, nonpolar substances like oil do not mix well with polar substances like water.
Does lubricating oil and water dissolve together?
No, lubricating oil does not dissolve in water. Because water is very polar and lubricating oil is nonpolar, it is not energetically favorable for oil to dissolve in water. The reasoning behind this is that water's strong hydrogen bonds must be broken in order for the oil to dissolve, and because only weaker bonds are formed in the process, it takes too much energy for this process to occur.
Why do samples dissolve in mineral oil but not water?
I don't know what these samples are of, but somethings just dissolve in oil but not in water. That's one of the properties they have.
What will dissolve in distilled water?
Substances that are polar or ionic, such as salt, sugar, and acids, will dissolve in distilled water. Nonpolar substances, such as oil, will not dissolve in water.
Does kerosene oil dissolve in water?
No, kerosene oil does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance. Water is a polar solvent and cannot easily mix or dissolve nonpolar substances like kerosene oil.
Name a molecule that does not dissolve well in water?
oil does not dissolve at all in water.
What is the substance that would not dissolve well in water and why?
Oil is a substance that does not dissolve well in water because oil molecules are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water molecules. This leads to a lack of interaction between oil and water molecules, making it difficult for them to mix together.
Why oil and water dissolve?
the density of oil is more than the water.so,they will never dissolve with each other, rather the oil will float over the water.
Which liquid does not dissolve in water?
Oil
Will not dissolve in oil and water?
insoluble.
Do not dissolve in water?
oil... xpp
What liquids can not dissolve in water?
oil
Does salad oil dissolve in water?
No, salad oil is not soluble in water. Salad oil is a nonpolar substance, while water is polar. Since like dissolves like, nonpolar substances like oil do not mix well with polar substances like water.
Does lubricating oil and water dissolve together?
No, lubricating oil does not dissolve in water. Because water is very polar and lubricating oil is nonpolar, it is not energetically favorable for oil to dissolve in water. The reasoning behind this is that water's strong hydrogen bonds must be broken in order for the oil to dissolve, and because only weaker bonds are formed in the process, it takes too much energy for this process to occur.
Why cooking oil do not dissolve in water?
Cooking oil is nonpolar, while water is polar. Like dissolves like, meaning substances with similar polarity tend to dissolve in each other. Since oil is nonpolar and water is polar, they do not interact on a molecular level, causing oil to not dissolve in water.
Why do samples dissolve in mineral oil but not water?
I don't know what these samples are of, but somethings just dissolve in oil but not in water. That's one of the properties they have.
