Solubility

Question 5 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Oil and water placed in a jar will separate. Even when shaken and mixed, the oil still separates from the water.

Answer
A
Oil and water are highly soluble because they have separate chemical properties.
B
Oil and water have a low solubility because they have separate chemical properties.
C
Oil and water are highly soluble because they exert different pressures.
D
Oil and water have a low solubility because they exert different pressures.

Explanation

Oil and water do not mix because they have different chemical properties: water is polar, while oil is nonpolar. This makes oil have low solubility in water, so the two liquids separate even after shaking. Different pressures are not the reason they separate.
