MIXING WATER AND OIL!

Have you ever tried cleaning oil with water? Does it cleans the oil?No, it doesn't as oil is lighter than water. So try this experiment out to figure out how to clean oil with water!!


Materials:
A glass
Oil
Water
Detergent


Instructions
Pour about half cup water, and about half cup oil into the glass.
Now add detergent to the mixture.What happens?

Observe: You will observe that before adding detergent the oil floats on water as oil is lighter than water.When you add detergent into the mixture the oil mixes with water!!

Did you know? 
Water is known as universal solvent as it can dissolve anything added to it. If you add oil to water it will dissolve the oil in a century  or two!!!
