Oil and water will not mix as water is a polar substance and oil is nonpolar. Polar substances will only dissolve other polar substances or ionic substances, but not nonpolar substances. Thus, they stay separate, and water is more dense then oil, which is why the oil floats (same principals as to why anything floats)
Oil is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. This means that oil molecules do not mix or dissolve in water, leading to the separation of the two substances.
The density of oil is what makes it float on water. Oil is less dense than water and does not mix or dissolve within the water. Therefore, it floats.The density of oil is what makes it float on water. Oil is less dense than water and does not mix or dissolve within the water.
Over time, the oil and water in the mixture will separate due to their different densities. Oil, being less dense than water, will float on top while water will settle at the bottom. This is because oil and water do not mix due to their differing chemical properties.
Yes, oil and sand do not mix well. Oil is less dense than water and tends to float on the surface, while sand is denser and tends to settle at the bottom. This separation is due to differences in their densities and compositions.
it depends on were you boil it.... if in frying pan you'll end up covered by boiling hot drops of oil because of some chemical reaction. if Boiled on a pot it boils normally ( i have done it but don't try the frying pan :)
oil
oil and water never mix together. water is heavier than oil. so,oil float on the water.
No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.
Not a lot, water and oil don't mix and so the oil will float on top of the water.
The oil will float above the water, as they wont mix with each other, and oil is lighter.
pertol,water and motor oil
The oil will float on top of the water because it is less dense than water. Oil and water do not mix well due to their different densities and polarities, causing the oil to form a distinct layer on top of the water.
Oil and water do not mix because oil is less dense than water. The difference in density causes oil to float on the surface of water. Additionally, oil molecules are nonpolar, while water molecules are polar, which further prevents them from mixing.
Oil is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. This means that oil molecules do not mix or dissolve in water, leading to the separation of the two substances.
Because water is heavier than oil.So oil is lighter and it floats above the water surface.That is why when there are oil spills, you can esily see oil float over water.
They are immiscible liquids! Can't be mixed at all. Oil is less dense than water and will hence float on water
When two substances do not mix with each other, the less dense substance will float on the more dense substance. Vegetable oil floats on water. If the mystery substance with d = 0.95 g/mL does not mix with water, then it should float on top of water. If the mystery substance with d = 0.95 g/mL does not mix with vegetable oil, then it should sink in vegetable oil.
