Answers
Answer:
the fish will die after some time
Explanation:
because oil will lead to poor oxygenation in water . and aftera while the oxygen will run out and the fish will die
Answer:
Fish will die due to no oxygen
Explanation:
Oil and water are considered immiscible, or not able to be mixed well, without separating into layers based on density. This is because lipids (fats and oils) are nonpolar and water is a polar molecule, with partial positive and negative charges.
Based on differing vapor pressures of either oil or water under normal atmospheric conditions, the surface oil would lead to a condition of poor oxygenation of the water.
In fact, a fish in a bowl has no source of circulating water as would be encountered in real life, such as in a river.
