Salt and sugar dissolve in water as they are hydrophilic substances, meaning they are attracted to water molecules. Oil, being hydrophobic, does not dissolve in water and will separate from it, forming distinct layers.

What happens when you mix water with oil and salt?

When you mix water with oil and salt, the salt will dissolve in the water but not in the oil. Oil and water will not mix as they are immiscible, forming separate layers due to their different polarities. The salt will stay dissolved in the water layer.
