Is mineral oil water soluble?

Very slightly. Odds are though, your teacher is looking for the answer "No, because oils are not soluble in water". However, you need to compare what the chemical is to the solubility rules your teacher gave you. Odds are you have a rule similar to "hydrocarbons or organic molecules with a low separation of charge or few non-bonding electron pairs are insoluble". In that case The correct answer is "no, mineral oil is insoluble." If you are taking college chemistry and the professor is grading the homework, then the answer is "mineral oil has trace solubility in water".

Hi, there. Yes, mineral oil really is bad for your skin, regardless of where the skin is. It is definitely a comodogenic oil, which means it blocks pores and can cause blemishes. It is also a petroleum byproduct, which means mineral oil is produced during the process used to make gasoline and oil. (Yuck!) It is a known carcinogen, and is not approved for use in the EU and other European countries. It is considered "safe with limited use" by the FDA, meaning that it's not yet banned, but that it should not be used frequently. That's enough for me! :)

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

That level 5 person who said it is, was mistaken.

Water is made up of ionic bonds and mineral oil has no ionic bonds, but covalent bonds.

Goto your medicine cabinet, add a sip of mineral water to a glass of water, they will not mix!

Yes
