No, a ray cannot refract on an opaque surface because refraction occurs as light passes through a transparent or translucent medium, causing it to change direction. Opaque surfaces do not allow light to pass through, so refraction cannot occur on them.
No, opaque substances do not refract light. Refraction occurs when light passes through a transparent medium and changes speed, causing the light to bend. Opaque substances do not allow light to pass through them, so there is no refraction.
No, opaque objects do not refract light. Refraction occurs when light passes through a medium with different optical properties, causing it to change direction. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, so there is no refraction.
When the angle of incidence is zero, the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface. This means the light ray travels straight along the normal and does not refract or bend. This phenomena is known as normal incidence.
The light ray will refract twice as it enters and exits the water.
The term that describe bouncing back of a beam of light from an opaque surface is "reflection."

Mercury is opaque, which means it does not allow light to pass through it. It has a shiny, reflective surface which is characteristic of opaque materials.

the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
Light does not pass through an opaque surface. (That is the basic definition of "opaque"). Heat will be absorbed (or rather the energy of the impinging radiation - including the light) will heat the opaque surface and underlying substrate and this heat will be re-emitted (in all directions). So in a way the heat will "pass through" the opaque surface but it really is absorbed and sent back out later.
Clear glass does refract light when light passes from another medium like water to clear glass. But there is an exception. If the ray of light were to pass through water and hit the clear glass straight or at 90 Degrees to the surface, then clear glass does not refract the light.
