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.

An emulsifier is a special detergent which can mix with oil and greases but they can also mix with water. When it is put with oil and water the particles mix together, but after a certain amount of time the particles will eventually seperate.


What happens if you mix oil and water together?

Oil and water do not mix because they have different densities and polarities. The oil will float on top of the water, layering itself above the water due to its lower density. This is due to the fact that oil is nonpolar, while water is polar, causing them to repel each other.


How does oil get into water?

Oil and water can't mix. They won't go together. The oil with just sit it the water or on top of the oil the water.


Does oil contain water?

No, oil does not contain water. Oil and water are immiscible, meaning they do not mix together. Oil is a hydrophobic substance, which means it repels water.


What happens when you shake up oil and water?

Oil and water do not mix due to their different densities and polarities. When shaken together, the oil and water will temporarily mix and form small droplets of oil in the water, but they will quickly separate back into distinct layers due to their immiscibility.


Does oil and water mix?

No, oil and water do not mix because they have different molecular structures. Oil is non-polar, while water is polar, so they do not have the necessary interactions to mix together. This is why they separate into distinct layers when combined.


Why is the capacity of oil is smaller than of water?

Because water and oil never ever mix together no matter what!


When you mix thick vegetable oil and water together why does the vegetable oil sit on the top?

Vegetable oil is denser then water, so it floats on top. Oil is also a lipid, which is hydrophobic, meaning it does not like water. They do not mix.


Does oil and water mix together in a bottle as a tornado?

No, oil and water do not mix together as a tornado. Oil and water have different densities and do not easily mix because they are immiscible. In a tornado, different air masses with varying temperatures and humidity create the rotating column of air.


Will vegetable oil mix with water?

No. the oil always rests on the top of the water, this is because oil and water are 'immiscible' if you wanted to get them to mix together you can add washing up liquid (emulsifier) to the mixture the mixture is then known as an emulsion because you added the emulsifier (washing up liquid)
