Baby oil is less dense than water, so it floats on the surface rather than mixing with the water. This is due to differences in molecular structure and density between the oil and water. Oil molecules are non-polar and do not form strong attractions with water molecules, causing them to stay separate.

Why oil floating in water?

Oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. This means that the weight of the oil is lighter than the weight of an equal volume of water, causing the oil to stay on the surface of the water.


Which has the lowest density between cooking oil and water?

What is the solubility of oil in water?

Oil is not soluble in water. That's why two layers form when you pour oil onto water - the top layer being oil (it is less dense than water)


Why does oil in a bowl of water get repelled when washing liquid is dropped on it?

The oil is not repelled. It is floating on the surface of the water as a thin film. Water has very high surface tension, but when soap or detergent is added to water that surface tension suddenly drops. The water surface now contracts like a punctured rubber sheet toward the remaining area of high surface tension, dragging the oil film floating on its surface with it.


Will synthetic oil mix with water?

No, synthetic oil will not mix with water. Like conventional oils, synthetic oil is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and does not dissolve in it. When mixed, the two substances will separate, with the oil floating on top of the water due to its lower density.


What will soap do to baby powder that is floating on water?

Soap will break down the surface tension of the water, causing the baby powder to clump together and sink to the bottom of the container.

Can Baby oil and water make a solution?

No, normally it isn't . If you mixed oil and water together and left it, then it would separate out to form different layers. This means that the oil isn't dissolving in the water (or vise versa). that means that it isn't a solution it is a mixture
