as a result of evaporation and transpiration water is moved into the atmosphere. tiny dust particles that float around in the air attract the water vapor when the temperature and the humidity conditions are right. Very much in the way a dry cold bottle will get wet when you take it out of the refrigerator. This in turn develops millions of droplets that bump into each other these when there are enough droplets close enough together you end up with what looks like a clouds

The shape distribution and size of clouds are influenced by many complex factors that include: heat, winds. seasons, mountain ranges, bodies of water, volcanic eruptions, and even global warming.

What occurs when an oil droplet is dispersed in water?

Oil ad water are not miscible; two phases appear.


Why does a drop of water placed on the surface of oil contracts to form a spherical shape?

The surface tension of the water and the fact that oil and water cannot wet each other.


What is the shape of a drop of oil placed in the surface of water?

A drop of oil placed on the surface of water will typically form a near-perfect circle due to surface tension forces that minimize the surface area of the liquid.


Oil droplet mass of .000000885 kg and a density of 923 kg per cubed m that spreads out to form a circle with a radius of 43.2 cm what is the approximate diameter of an oil molecule in units m?

To find the diameter of an oil molecule, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere (V = (4/3)πr^3) to approximate the volume of the oil droplet. With the given mass and density, we can calculate the diameter of the oil droplet from its volume. With the same density, we can then approximate the diameter of an individual oil molecule.


What is oil drop model of a protein?

The oil drop model for proteins basically refers to the fact that in water, oil sticks together to form an oil droplet rather than being dispersed throughout the water in many droplets. Why? - Because of the hydrophobic effect. hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains cause water to form "cages" around them (this is because water cannot hydrogen bond to the protein so makes extra hydrogen bonds to itself), becoming more ordered and therefore losing entropy (S) which is unfavourable. This is the same for hydrophobic residues in the protein chain. If exposed, water will become ordered around them, losing entropy. The hydrophobic effect aims to minimise this entropic loss by burying the hydrophobic residues within the core of the protein. Hydrophobic residues can form relatively strong Van der waals forces with each other while the polar residues can form H-bonds with the water molecules.

What do detergents do to a mixture of oil and water?

They cause them to mix. The detergent particles have an oil-soluble end which sticks into the oil, and a water soluble end which is attracted to the water. When enough detergent particles surround an oil droplet, it will move off into the water.

What is a lipid droplet?

A lipid is a compound that is insoluble (unable to be dissolved) in water but can be dissolved in other nonpolar solvents. The category of lipids includes oil, fat and wax. A lipid droplet is a small amount of that compound.


Why does hot cooking oil pop?

Sometimes it may pop/spatter slightly when a droplet of water comes into contact with the oil; the instant evaporation causes the popping sound.


What happens when a drop of oil is stirred into a glass of water?

The oil will initially float on the surface of the water due to differences in density. Over time, the oil droplet may break into smaller droplets due to agitation, eventually dispersing throughout the water. However, oil and water do not mix because they are immiscible, so the oil droplets will not dissolve in the water.


How much oil has to be spilled to make water toxic for fish and other animals in water?

As small as a droplet of motor oil in one million droplets of water is enough to cause harm or kill a small sea organism ,i.e Krillin, plankton, etc.


How does an oil slick form when an oil tanker springs a leak?

Oil and water do not mix. Oil floats to the surface of the water.


What is a homogeneous mixture is it soot in water alcohol in water or oil in water?

Soot in water scatters light, demonstrating the Tyndall effect. It is heterogeneous.Alcohol dissolves completely in water and forms a homogeneous mixture.Oil does not dissolve in water to any appreciable extent but if the droplet size is small enough it will form an emulsion. Emulsions demonstrate the Tyndall effect and so, are classified as heterogeneous.


Why When oil drop into water it always turn to a perfect circle?

It doesn't. That only happens with a small amount of oil dropped onto a quiet body of water. Wind, waves, currents, forces on the oil and/or the water all cause other shapes. But if all is quiet, then you get a circle because the surface tensions of both the water and the oil act to form the most "efficient" shape.


What will happen if olive oil is added to water?

the olive oil will form into droplets and not mix with the water
