vegatable oil sit flat on top of water because of density. Density of vegetable oil is more then water .Hence oil float
Oil and water can't mix. They won't go together. The oil with just sit it the water or on top of the oil the water.
Allow the mixture to sit until the oil and water have separated. Then pour off the oil.
Oil is less dense than water, so it sits on top. It is also organic so is immiscible in water.
they separete on their own if you let the container sit, the oil rises to the top
If you let the oil and water sit for a while, you can actually see the two separate. It's quite cool.

Vegetable oil is denser then water, so it floats on top. Oil is also a lipid, which is hydrophobic, meaning it does not like water. They do not mix.
Oil floats on water because its density is lower than that of water. This difference in density causes oil to sit on top of the water, creating a layer on the surface.
If you shake it, it will be an "emulsion", but if you let it sit for a while, there will be a layer of water at the bottom of the jar, and a layer of oil above the water.
Water is less dense than oil so they cannot naturally combine. Oil will sit ontop of water until: A) Burned off B) Removed any other way.
Put two difference types of liquids that have different density's. Like put water and olive oil and the oil will sit on top of the olive oil.
