First, use a magnet to get the iron nails out because iron is a magnetic material and will be attracted to the magnet.
Now what you have left is the water and oil. Fortunately, oil is less dense than oil and it will float on top of the water. Use a separating funnel to tap the water out from the bottom and collect it in a container. You can also use a spoon to get the oil out from a container which contains the oil and water since oil floats on the surface.
What else can I help you with?
Will iron nails inside a steel container filled with oil be attracted to a magnet which is outside the steel container?
No, the iron nails inside the steel container will not be attracted to a magnet outside the container because the steel container will shield the nails from the magnetic field. Steel is not magnetic, so it will not affect the iron nails inside the container.
How do oil and water separate?
Oil and water separate because oil will float to the top and water will sink to the bottom. The reason oil wil float to the top because oil is non polar while water is compound polar. Separation by decantation and filtration.Separation by decantation and filtration.
Is it possible to separate oil from water with electricity?
Yes, it is possible to separate oil from water using a method called electrocoagulation. In this process, an electrical current is applied to the mixture, causing the oil droplets to coagulate and separate from the water. The separated oil can then be skimmed off the surface.
How we can separate oil from water?
Allow the mixture to sit until the oil and water have separated. Then pour off the oil.
What is it called when you put oil into water?
It is called immiscibility, where oil and water do not mix and form separate layers.
Will iron nails inside a steel container filled with oil be attracted to a magnet which is outside the steel container?
No, the iron nails inside the steel container will not be attracted to a magnet outside the container because the steel container will shield the nails from the magnetic field. Steel is not magnetic, so it will not affect the iron nails inside the container.
How do you separate a mixture of oil water sugar and sand?
First, use a funnel to separate the sand and sugar from the oil and water mixture. Then, you can use a separation technique such as decantation or centrifugation to separate the oil from the water. Finally, you can use a process like distillation or filtration to separate the oil from the water.
How do you separate iron filings contaminated with oil?
According to Holt Science & Technolgy (Phisical science text book)pass a magnet over the mixture and the iron filings will be attracted to it.
Is fat water soluble?
No. That is why oil and water separate.
How do oil and water separate?

Can you separate oil from water using spoon?
No, you cannot separate oil from water using a spoon. Oil and water do not mix, so they will not combine easily. To separate them, you can use a method like allowing them to settle and then manually removing the oil layer with a tool like a pipette.
How do you separate water?
put oil onit
How we can separate oil from water?
Allow the mixture to sit until the oil and water have separated. Then pour off the oil.
When water and oil are mixed and they separate which one separates to the top?
oil
When you combine water and vegetable oil together why do they separate?
Because the oil is less dense then the water.
How does motor oil effcet water?
Motor oil is insoluble in water and it is denser in water. Therefore, motor oil will not mix with water. It will remain separate.
