AI Generated Solution

To determine how the density of oil compares with the density of water, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: When oil and water are mixed, they do not combine and instead separate into two layers, with oil floating on top of water. 2. **Observing the Behavior of Oil and Water**: The fact that oil floats on water indicates a specific relationship between their densities. ...

Oil mixes with water.

For the arrangement shown in the figure, what is the density of oil? .

A density bottle weighs 120 g and 100 g when filled completely with oil ad water, respectively. If the weight of a empty density bottle is 40g, then arrange the following steps in sequence meant to solve the problem to get the density of oil (A). The density of the oil D=("Mass of the oil")/("Weight of the water")=("Mass of the oil")/("Mass of the water") =("Weighht of oil")/("Weight of the water")=(W_(3)-W_(1))/(W_(2)-W_(1)) (B). Let the weight of the bottle +oil= W_(3)=120g and the weight of the bottle+water = W_(2) 100g, where bottle is completely filled with liquid, i.e., oil or water. (C). Let the weight of the empty bottle =W_(1)=40g (D). The the weight of the oil ad water would be equal to (W_(3)-W_(1)) and (W_(2)-W_(1)) , respectively.

Name the apparatus you would use to separate oil from water.
