Mineral oil is absolutley insoluble in water. The old saying that oil and water do not mix definitely rings true for this oil. You can, if you need to, go through and intermediary such as IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and then to water. I do this all the time in the lab. Paul

Will albumin dissolve in water?
Insoluble in water but soluble in oil
Is soap soluble in oil?
No, soap is not soluble in oil. Soap is hydrophilic, meaning it is soluble in water, but not in oils or other nonpolar substances.
What occurs when a soluble mineral receives water to precipitation causing it to weaken?
Hydrolysis
Why doesn't oil dissolve in water for kids?
Because oil molecules are non-polarWhile oil is slightly soluble in water, it is a nonpolar molecule while water is extremely polar. This means there is very little attraction between them and it is only sparingly soluble
Is salt soluble in coconut oil?
Salt is not soluble in coconut oil because salt is hydrophilic (water-loving) and coconut oil is hydrophobic (water-repelling). This makes them immiscible in each other. Salt dissolves in water, not in oil.
How do you make water soluble mineral oil?
Water-soluble mineral oil can be made by emulsifying mineral oil with a suitable emulsifier in water. The emulsifier helps to disperse the oil in water and stabilize the solution. Additionally, using a high-shear mixer can help in achieving a stable water-in-oil emulsion.
Is mineral oil soluble in a solution ofwater and tetrahydrofuran?
Mineral oil is insoluble in water due to its nonpolar nature, but it is soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF) as they are both nonpolar compounds. Therefore, mineral oil would likely be soluble in a solution of water and tetrahydrofuran.
Is USP mineral oil soluble in water?
No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.
Does salt dissolve in mineral oil?
Oil, being a non-polar covalent compound is not soluble in water, which is a polar solvent. Salts (not limited to NaCl, but all ionic salts,) being ionic compounds that disassociate in solution to form charged ions, are highly soluble in water.
Is Calcium Chloride soluble in oil?
Calcium chloride is not soluble in oil. It is a water-soluble compound that dissolves readily in water but does not mix with oil.
Is fluorite water soluble?
No, fluorite is not water soluble. It is a mineral that is typically insoluble in water.
Is Advil soluble in water oil or both?
Advil (ibuprofen) is a non-polar compound and is more soluble in oil than in water. It has limited solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents like oil.
What Drug interaction with mineral oil and fat-soluble vitamins?
Toxic
Is iodine soluble in oil?
No, iodine is not soluble in oil. Iodine is a water-soluble compound and will not mix with nonpolar substances like oil.
Is oil soluble in water at elevated temp?
I think oil will be less soluble in water at elevated temperatures.
Do naphthalene crystals dissolve in mineral oil?
Yes, naphthalene crystals are soluble in mineral oil, as both are nonpolar substances. When naphthalene is added to mineral oil, it dissolves to form a homogeneous solution.
Is calcium a water or fat-soluble vitamin or major or trace mineral?
major mineral
