Question

question 8 (1 point) water doesnt water mix with oil? a oil is polar b oil is hydrophobic c water is nonpolar d oil is hydrophilic

Brief Explanations

Water is a polar molecule, while oil is non - polar. According to the principle of "like dissolves like", polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non - polar substances dissolve in non - polar solvents. So oil, being non - polar (hydrophobic), doesn't mix with water, which is polar.

Answer:

c. Oil is hydrophobic
