Rather than us attempting to describe it, why don't you try it yourself? Petroleum jelly isn't terribly expensive.

Does water and petroleum jelly dissolve with or without heating?

Water and petroleum jelly do not dissolve in each other, regardless of heating. Petroleum jelly is a hydrophobic substance that does not mix with water, as it is composed of hydrocarbons. Heating may alter the viscosity of petroleum jelly, but it won't enable it to dissolve in water.


Is petroluem jelly water based?

Petroleum jelly, also known as petrolatum, is not water-based. It is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, which is a non-polar substance. Water-based products contain water as the main ingredient, whereas petroleum jelly is oil-based and does not contain any water.


Could water and petroleum jelly dissolve with or without heating?

Water and petroleum jelly do not dissolve in each other, regardless of whether heat is applied. Water is a polar solvent, while petroleum jelly is a non-polar substance, leading to their immiscibility. Heating may change the viscosity of petroleum jelly but won't facilitate dissolution in water.


Is petroleum jelly soluble in water?

Petroleum isn't a single product, but rather a range of substances. Many will float on water, but not all.


Why do petroleum jelly dissolve in vegetable oil but not in water?

Petroleum jelly is a hydrophobic substance, meaning it repels water due to its non-polar nature. Vegetable oil is also non-polar, allowing the two substances to mix and dissolve. Water, on the other hand, is a polar molecule with positive and negative charges that do not interact well with the non-polar petroleum jelly, leading to immiscibility.


What effect did the petroleum jelly have on transpiration.?

Petroleum jelly reduced transpiration by creating a barrier on the surface of the leaf, preventing water loss through stomata. This can lead to decreased water uptake by the plant and potentially affect its overall growth and health.


How do you get petroleum jelly out of a bed quilt?

This is going to sound really weird and please only use this as your last resort because I have tried it with other types of substances like petroleum jelly but not specifically that. First rub in vegetable oil wherever the petroleum is and that should break the petroleum down then all you need to do is wash the vegetable oil out with dish soap. Like I said, sounds weird.

How do you make petroleum jelly in to liquid?

Fill up a small container (like your sink) with hot water. Make sure the bottle is tightly closed, so no water may get in, and let the bottle sit in the hot water for 5-10 minutes. The lotion is liquid again when you can shake the bottle and hear it moving.


Why is lipstick easily removed by petroleum jelly but not by water?

Like dissolves like. Lipstick is made of greasy or polar molecules, and so is petroleum jelly. Water is a polar molecule. Just like oil and water don't mix, nor does water and lipstick. Water is good at removing polar molecules (like salt for instance), but not good at removing grease. That is why you have to use soap to clean clothes -- because water alone does not remove grease or oils.See the Related Questions for more about how soap works.


How do you remove petroleum jelly from concrete?

To remove petroleum jelly from concrete, start by scraping off any excess with a plastic scraper or putty knife. Then, apply a mixture of dish soap and warm water to the stained area and scrub with a stiff brush. Rinse thoroughly with water. For stubborn stains, you can use a degreaser or a commercial concrete cleaner, following the manufacturer's instructions.
