Yes, gasoline floats on top of water. Here's a school website with a simple explanation
and diagrams about why it does float on water: http://water.me.vccs.edu/courses/ENV110/lesson20_2b.htm

What liquids can float on top of water?
Anything can float in different liquids as long as the object's density is less than that of the liquid's density.
Krypton gas floats above air is it a chemical or physical?
It is a physical property. Any gas that has a lower density than air will float above air. This is similar to how if you pour oil into water. The oil will float on the water because it is less dense.
Does gas float on top of water?
Gasoline floats on water. That is why water is not used on gasoline fires. The fire floats on the water and spreads rather than being smothered by the water.
Does the element Iron float or sink in water?
yes iron does float in water yes iron does float in water
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
Does gas float on water and why?
Oil and gas are less dense than water therefore will separate and float.
Why does oil and gas float on water?
Oil and gas are less dense than water therefore will separate and float.
Why does gas float on water?
it doesn't, idiotic chamber!
Does gas fuel float in water?
no because is air not liquid
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
Does fluorine float on water?
It is a gas at room temperature, so imagine this answer
Which gas giant could float on water?
Saturn, because it has a lower density than water.
Is an object buoyant in water?
Yes. Because its able to float in gas and liquid.
Which planet is less dense and can float?
Saturn is a gas planet, and if it were possible to place it in water it would float. Not sure if the rings would float, but, the planet itself would.
If gasoline is poured into liquid water will in float or sink?
Gasoline will float because it has a lighter density than water. Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3 and gas has a density of about 0.7 g/cm3
Why a rotten egg will float in a fresh water?
During decomposition an egg gives off gas which collects within the shell. Eventually this collection of gas gives the egg enough bouancy to float.
Why do some turds float and some turds float?
It is the amount of gas in your turd. Gas is lighter and therefore a turd with more gas will float.
