Question

Imagine you are looking at a bottle of salad dressing containing oil, vinegar, and water. Why are there two layers in the salad dressing? Water and vinegar are both hydrophobic and mix, whereas the oil is hydrophilic. Vinegar and oil are both hydrophobic and mix, whereas the water is hydrophilic. Water and vinegar are both hydrophilic and mix, whereas the oil is hydrophobic. Vinegar dissolves into both the oil and the water in this container.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oil and vinegar separate because it is a suspension

Explanation:

When you let suspensions sit the particles begin to layer out, in the salad dressing the oil layers out on top of the vinegar. The two layers of oil and vinegar don't actually dissolve in each other. The layer with the lower density (oil) floats on top of the layer with a higher density (vinegar)
