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 else can I help you with?
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.
Why painter use turpentine instead of water?
Painters use turpentine instead of water because it is a solvent that effectively thins oil-based paints and enhances their flow and drying time. Turpentine helps to dissolve the oils in the paint, allowing for smoother application and blending. Unlike water, which can cause oil paints to separate and clump, turpentine maintains the integrity of the paint while facilitating cleanup of brushes and tools.
How do you separate water oil and iron nails?
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 experiment did Robert Millikan do to changed atomic theory?
He used voltage adjustments to make charged oil drops float
Is oil a solute or solvent?
Neither. "Solute" and "solvent" are used to refer to the components of a mixture or a solution. In such a case, a solute dissolves into another substance, called the solvent. A bottle filled with oil and water will not be a solution because the oil and water will not mix.
Why don't we use water in hydraulic systems instead of hydraulic oil?
Water can cause steel components to rust. Oil is much less corrosive.
Can I use canola oil instead of vegetable oil when making brownies?
Yes, you can use canola oil instead of vegetable oil when making brownies.
Why oil based fire cannot be extinguished with water?
Simple, water cannot mix with oil and oil floats on water. So the water is sinking under the oil and not cutting off it's oxygen supply. Instead of water, use foam or dirt in a safe distance.
What should I use instead of olive oil?
You can use alternatives like avocado oil, coconut oil, or canola oil instead of olive oil for cooking or dressing.
What can be used instead of oil?
butter or PAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you use api 75w-90 gear oil instead of sae90 gear oil?
Yes, you can use 75w-90 gear oil instead of SAE 90 gear oil
What can you use instead of oil?
Instead of using oil you can use butter this works just as well as oil sometimes even better .One bad thing is butter can be worse for your health then oil .Also there are oil sustitutes made out there.
