This is not a chemical reaction. When this happens it is clearly just called Chemical Seperation as the two chemicals do not bind due to density.

Is mixing and separating oil and water a chemical reaction?

No, it is a physical process.


Is mixing oil and water a chemical reaction?

No, it is not a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions occur when one or more chemical compound reacts to give one or more different chemical compounds. When oil and water are mixed, they can be separated to give the original amounts of oil and water without any new chemical compounds <==============================================3


What are the kind of separating mixtures?

oil and water


What is the chemical reaction for oil and water?

Oil and water do not react chemically; they are immiscible due to differences in polarity. Oil is nonpolar and water is polar, so they do not mix and form separate layers instead.


Why do you have to drain out water from the sepatory funnel and not vegetable oil when separating them?

- water has a higher density and is under oil- you need oil not water


Is making making crisps from cooking oil potatoes a chemical reaction?

Yes, it is a chemical reaction.


What substances combine without a chemical reaction?

Substances like oil and water can mix without undergoing a chemical reaction, forming a mixture. Similarly, sugar and water can dissolve into each other without a chemical reaction occurring. These are physical changes where the substances retain their original properties.


Does salt and olive oil make a chemical reaction?

salt and oliveoil does not make a chemical reaction because the olive oil doesnt have the right particles in it


Methods on separating oil and water?

A simple method is decantation.


Is mixing oil and water a physical or a chemical change?

When oil and water mix it is due to an emulsifier being added to the solution. The emulsifier has one hydrophobic tail which will attach to the oil and one hydrophilic tail which attaches to the water. It is more of a chemical change than a physical one since the oil and water don't change state, however they will not form an emulsification without an aid so its technically not due to a chemical reaction between the water and oil alone either.


Do you use filtration in separating oil from water?

Yes, filtration is not an effective method for separating oil from water because oil molecules are much smaller than the pores in a filter. Instead, methods like centrifugation or skimming can be used to separate oil from water more effectively.


What is used as a medium for a chemical reaction?

A medium for a chemical reaction can be a solvent, such as water or oil, in which the reactants are dissolved. The medium provides the environment for the reactants to come into contact and interact with each other. Additionally, medium can refer to the physical conditions, such as temperature and pressure, under which the reaction takes place.
