🔍 Key Concepts

• Density differences between oil and water • Behavior of lighter vs. heavier liquids in a mixture under gravity • How an oily-water separator uses gravity to separate the two liquids

💭 Think About

• In a calm tank, if you pour oil on top of water, what happens to the oil over time? • Which substance (oil or water) has more mass in the same volume, and how does gravity act on each? • In a separator, do we usually skim oil off the top or drain it from the bottom?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which is less dense: oil or water • Decide whether a less dense liquid tends to rise or sink in a denser liquid • Match the correct combination of density comparison and the direction of movement (rise or sink) in the answer choices

What statement is true with regard to the basic operating principle of gravity associated with an oily- water separator?

The density of oil is less than that of water and as a result the oil droplets in an oily-water mixture will tend to rise.

The density of oil is greater than that of water and as a result the oil droplets in an oily-water mixture will tend to sink.
