No
What color is iodine when mixed with water what color is iodine when mixed with mineral oil?
I think it depends on the mixtures. When I mixed a store bought solution of iodine (2.5% iodine and 2.5% potassium iodide) in water it was brown. But when I added heavy mineral oil and mixed them, the mineral oil layer was a brilliant pink/purple colour. Really impressive. NR Pure iodine is violet. It can act as an electron acceptor (an acid). When iodine is in a solvent that doesn't donate electrons it stays violet. When it is in water or ethanol the iodine accepts electrons from the oxygen atom which then affects the wavelength of visible light that it absorbs, this means that the colour changes.

Why should you not expect the halides ions to dissolve in mineral oil?
halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions. However, mineral oil is non-polar. To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work. More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.
Is mineral spirits different from mineral oil?

Why mineral oil dissolve in hexane and not in water?
Polar substances are miscible (will dissolve) in each other and non-polar substances will dissolve in each other. "Like dissolves like!" Mineral oil is non-polar. Hexane is a six carbon chain and is also non-polar. Water on the other hand is polar because it contains an electronegative oxygen.
Is iodine soluble in oil?

Why does Mineral oil lubricant dissolve latex?
oil and latex are nonpolar molecules so they are able to interactwhich causes it to dissolve while polar molecules cant interract with non polar so water wont dissollve it.
