Mixing Oil and Water
Some things just don't get along well with each other. Take oil and water as an example, you can mix them together and shake as hard as you like but they'll never become friends.....or will they? Take this fun experiment a step further and find out how bringing oil and water together can help you do your dishes.
What you'll need:
* Small soft drink bottle
* Water
* Food colouring
* 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
* Dish washing liquid or detergent
Instructions:
1. Add a few drops of food colouring to the water.
2. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the coloured water along with the 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the small soft drink bottle.
3. Screw the lid on tight and shake the bottle as hard as you can.
4. Put the bottle back down and have a look, it may have seemed as though the liquids were mixing together but the oil will float back to the top.

What are the observations of the experiment on extraction of essential oils from aniseed?
The experiment to extract essential oils from aniseed typically involves crushing the seeds, then using a method like steam distillation to extract the oils. During the process, observations may include the separation of the essential oil layer from the water layer, the distinctive aroma of anise in the recovered oil, and the color and clarity of the final oil extract.
What property of water is responsible for this activity?
Which experiment? You have to tell which experiment it is, so we can answer it. -Elisax
What did Robert milikan contribute in science?
he discovered the the electron has a negative charge through an experiment called the oil-drop experiment
Why did millikan use oil instead of water?
Millikan used oil instead of water in his famous oil drop experiment to minimize the effects of evaporation and to achieve more stable and consistent droplet sizes. Oil droplets could be created and suspended more easily in the air, allowing for precise measurements of the charge on individual electrons. Additionally, oil has a lower viscosity compared to water, which helped in reducing air resistance and facilitating smoother motion of the droplets in the electric field.
What oil drop experiment allowed Millikan to measure the?
The charge of the electron
Which substance was added first oil or water in a separation experiment?
First pour the water.
Can you explain the oil and water experiment and how it demonstrates the concept of immiscibility between oil and water?
The oil and water experiment demonstrates immiscibility, which means that oil and water do not mix together. When oil and water are combined in a container and shaken, they separate into distinct layers. This happens because oil molecules are nonpolar, while water molecules are polar. Since like molecules tend to stick together, the nonpolar oil molecules cluster together and repel the polar water molecules, causing the two substances to remain separate.
In the rusting experiment why is it important to cover the boiled water with oil?
Covering the boiled water with oil helps create an oxygen-free environment in the container. This prevents the water from getting oxidized during the rusting experiment, allowing the experimenter to analyze the impact of exposure to water on the rusting process.
What is the equation for the lava lamp experiment please help you are freaking out?
The lava lamp experiment involves mixing water, oil, food coloring, and an effervescent tablet (like Alka-Seltzer). The tablet creates gas bubbles that rise through the oil and water mixture, carrying colored water with them. There is no specific equation for this experiment, as it is a simple chemical reaction that creates a visual effect. Just follow the steps in the experiment guide to create your lava lamp.
What is the the format for writing the hypothesis?
it's what you believe the result of the test/experiment will be. e.g. oil is less dense than water.
How do you make an experiment when investigating the time taken for a mixture of oil water and emulsifer to separate depending on the volume of emulsifier?
You will never know
What can you use to remove water from a science experiment?
Depends on what the experiment is. You can evaporate the water.
When did Robert Millikan conduct his experiment?
when did Millikan conduct his famous oil drop experiment
What Was The Name Of Robert A. Millikan Experiment?
That should probably be "Millikan". The experiment he was famous for is the Millikan Oildrop Experiment.
What was the experiment in lorenzo's oil?

Why is oil or vasaline added to a transpiration experiment?
Oil or vaseline may be added to a transpiration experiment to create a seal around the stomata of the plant, preventing water loss through transpiration from the leaves. This allows researchers to control and measure the rate of transpiration more accurately by minimizing external variables that could affect water loss.
How do you write a problem question?
By writing it as a guestion like 4 example.......... lets say i do an experiment to see if a plant grows faster with water and the other with oil my problem would be If i have to plants one with water an the other with oil the one with oil will grow slower it is like the hypothesis in a guestion
