Upon testing the solubility of the oil by shaking small quantities with water, alcohol, and ether respectively, the following observations were made:
1. Water: The oil did not dissolve and formed a separate layer on the top, indicating that it is insoluble in water.
2. Alcohol: The oil partially dissolved in alcohol, forming a cloudy mixture. Some oil droplets remained suspended in the alcohol, suggesting partial solubility.
3. Ether: The oil completely dissolved in ether, resulting in a clear solution. No oil droplets were visible, indicating that the oil is soluble in ether.
To further confirm the solubility in ether, a few drops of the ethereal solution were poured onto a filter paper. If the oil is soluble in ether, it would evaporate, leaving no visible residue on the filter paper.
After allowing the ethereal solution to evaporate, the filter paper showed no visible residue or oily marks. This confirms that the oil used in the experiment is soluble in ether.
Based on these observations, it can be concluded that the oil is insoluble in water, partially soluble in alcohol, and soluble in ether.
Test the solubility of the oil by shaking small quantities with water alcohol and either respectively. Pour a few drops of the ethereal solution on the filter paper.
