Oil and water each have densities. Oil is less dense than water, so it floats above it.
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.
Because of different densities; being density of oil lower than water density, this makes oil float on water
Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.
Oil
vegatable oil sit flat on top of water because of density. Density of vegetable oil is more then water .Hence oil float
The same way you convert any density to specific gravity. Just divide the density of the substance (crude oil in this case) by the density of the reference substance (usually water, for liquids).
The density of oil is generally lower than that of water, which means that oil floats on top of water. This difference in density is due to the composition of oils, which are usually less dense than water molecules.
Water has a fixed density (depending on temperature), and it is more dense than corn oil by a little bit. If corn oil is added to water, the density of the mixture will decrease. This applies to "room temperature" water and oil. No one should be pouring hot oil into water.
Density
The oil is floating on water, so it density is lower than that of water.
