Q
does oil mix with water
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Oil does not mix with water due to their distinct molecular properties. Oil molecules are nonpolar, meaning their electric charge is evenly distributed, whereas water molecules are polar, with a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom and a positive charge near the hydrogen atoms. This difference causes water molecules to attract each other and exclude oil molecules, leading to the separation you see when oil and water are combined. Additionally, the density of oil is generally lower than water, causing oil to float on water’s surface. This principle is fundamental in various applications, from cooking to environmental science, where the separation of oil and water is critical, such as in oil spill clean-ups.
