Can a block float in olive oil?

If it is lighter than the oil, it will float, if not it won't. Most plastics are about the same density of most oils. Some will float some won't.

No. It will float on top


Will a box that it's is mass is grams float in olive oil?

To float in olive oil the box needs to displace a volume of olive oil that has the same mass as the box - the less dense the oil (for example by being warmer) the more volume the box will need to displace to equal its mass. If it cannot displace a volume of olive oil that equals its mass, the box will sink. Or to put it another way, the box will float in olive oil as long as its density is less than that of the oil.


Will olive oil and water separate by distillation?

Yes... oil will float on top


Does ebony float in olive oil?

No. Ebony is one of the few woods that doesn't float in water. Oil is lighter than water so ebony won't float in that either.


What would happen if you mixed water olive oil and an ice cube?

if you were to add water an ice cube an olive oil the water would be on the bottom and the oil would be on top and the ice cube wuld float inside of the olive oil.


What material floats in water but sinks in olive oil what is the material?

It depends on how the ice was frozen, but ice (frozen water) will float in water and will probably have a greater density than olive oil, so it will sink in olive oil.


Can a candle float on olive oil?

Yes, a candle can float on olive oil if the candle is made of a material that is less dense than the oil and is designed to be buoyant. The wax used in candles is typically less dense than oil, allowing them to float. However, the wick and the candle's overall design can affect its buoyancy. If the candle absorbs enough oil or water, it may eventually sink.


Can 19.2 grams float in olive oil?

Whether 19.2 grams can float in olive oil depends on the density of the object in question. If the object's density is less than that of olive oil (approximately 0.91 grams per cubic centimeter), it will float. Conversely, if the object's density is greater, it will sink. The weight alone (19.2 grams) does not determine buoyancy; the object's volume and density are also crucial factors.


Will a toy plastic block float at the same level in vegetable oil water corn syrup?

A toy plastic block will float at different levels in vegetable oil, water, and corn syrup due to the varying densities of these liquids. The block will float higher in vegetable oil, which is less dense than water, and may float lower in corn syrup, which is denser than both water and vegetable oil. The specific level at which the block floats depends on the density of the liquid relative to the density of the block.
