Will the materials that float on water also float on oil?
It depends on the density of the materials and the type of oil. In general, materials that are less dense than oil will float on oil, while materials that are more dense than oil will sink. Oil has a lower density than water, so materials that float on water may or may not float on oil.
Will diamonds float in oil?
No. For their size, diamonds are heavy and will not float.
Does water sink or float?
does water sink or float in what? whether one solution "floats" or "sinks" when added to a 2nd solution depends largely on the relative densities of the two solutions. Generally the denser of the two will "sink", though other factors, such as polarity, come into play in certain situations (eg, mixing oil and alcohol).
Which is more dense water or oil?
This depends on the type of oil. Few types of oil sink in water, while most types of oil float on top of the water.
Do clothes float or sink?
