Best Answer

Oil is less dense than water. Therefore, equal volumes of water and oil will not have the same mass. You can prove this by weighing each. The cup of oil will weigh less.

Example of mass in daily life?

Every object has mass. You, plants, rocks, homes, etc. Mass is similar to weight, but the mass of an object does not change as weight would. Weight is based on mass and the gravitational pull, so if the gravitational pull changes so will your weight. You can find more information here: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mass.html


What happens when you add water to vegetable oil?

.100 ml measuring cylinder .1 teaspoon .clear drinking cup . popsicle stick . salt .cooking oil well when you add salt to oil and water and than stirr it for 30 seconds but the all dont match ,and it turns white because alll whats mixxed together turns a differnt colour and when it is finshed being stirred as you can see that the oil will float to the top and salt will sink to the bottom of the drinking cup.


Why does oil float on top of vinegar?

Oil floats atop vinegar because of the density difference. Oil is the lesser dense. its the same thing with water and oil.


When oil leaks into the ocean why does the oil float to the surface?

Oil and water don't "mix" together in the normal sense, and oil is less dense than sea water. That makes the oil float because the water, which is more dense, pushes it (the oil) to the surface.Archimedes' Principle- a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Therefor if one were to weigh a given amount of oil and the same amount of water, water would weigh more. Three stages of buoyancy are positive(floats) negitive(sinks) neutral(doesn't float or sink).

Why does vetcable oil float on water?

Vegetable oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Since the mass of vegetable oil is less than the same volume of water, it displaces less water and floats on top.

What will happen if two objects with the same density are put together?

Quite a bit, or not much, depending on the substances and on how long you are willing to wait. If you pour oil and water together, you would have a rapid separation of the oil and water, with the oil on top. If you place a sheet of lead on top of a sheet of aluminum foil, the aluminum might end up on top, but not before lunch.
