A mixture of oil and water is place in a glass beaker and stirred.which picture depicts what is most likely to happen after the Beaker sits for 3 minutes?
Answer (2)
H, I think. The oil has a lower density than the water, so after the 3 minutes it would float on top of the water.
After stirring an oil and water mixture and letting it sit for three minutes, the oil will separate and float on top of the water due to its lower density. This happens because oil is nonpolar and does not mix with polar water, leading to the formation of two distinct layers. Thus, you will observe a clear separation between the oil and water in the beaker.
