Technically, it really doesn't form into one liquid. It usually forms 2 layers, One layer is water and the other the oil. It Just depends on the density of the oil compared to water. If the oil weighs more than the water then you should see that layer at the bottom. Water is a polar molecule, and depending on the oil it could be polar or nonpolar. If the oil is polar, the water and the oil will mix into one. But if the oil is nonpolar, it will form to distinct layers.
Hope this helps...

The result would water separating from and resting on top of oil. This is because oil is heavier than water, which is why there's no chemical reaction when water and oil are joined.
That's how lava lamps work-a force propells the lighter liquid downward, and it goes upward again due to its lighter mass.
(This is true unless the oil is polar, like water-then it mixes.)

When shaken together they become an 'Emulsion'. After standing for a time, they will eventuall separate out with the oil forming an 'Interface' with the water at the bottom..

You can't these liquids naturally oppose the other and can't be mixed.
they may seem to be mixed while your shaking the container. But stop shaking and soon they will separate with the oil on top.

still water and oil (the two liquids do not react with each other chemically). The less-dense oil will float on top.

Water and oil. The two don't mix.

It will be two layers with the oil as the top layer and H20 as the bottom layer.

the resulting liquid would be hazwaste and should be disposed of accordingly with federal, state and local laws.
