Why does water dry faster than oil?


Why does water dry faster than oil? Answer and Explanation: Since oil and water have a different boiling point, they turn into gas in different conditions. Water which has a lower boiling point will turn into gas faster than oil and this vapor can then be collected and allowed to condense back into liquid water into a separate container.


Why does water flow faster than vegetable oil?

A great example comparing viscosity with density is oil and water. Oil is less dense than water (it floats on top of water) but more viscous than water. Oil resists flowing, where water flows more easily.
