Sorry if this doesn't help, but it sort of depends on the density of the oil.
If oil A has a density lower than oil B, A will float on B.
Calculate the density by doing mass divided by volume. If it is under 1 it will float on normal water. If more it will sink.

∙ 15y agoYes, most wood that you run across in normal materials floats. However some such as lignum vitae have a density greater than water (1000 kg/m3) and sink. See Link.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, if the wood becomes saturated in water too much
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt might. What's the density of the plastic? They do vary, you know.

Which liquid floats on top water or kerosene?
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
Does kerosene float on water-?
no, beacuse there is more sugars patick present in it so it floats
Why is kerosene used to burn logs of wood?
Large chunks of wood are difficult to start burning. Kerosene OTOH lights up easily. So a splash of kerosene is a simple way - but a bit dangerous - to get a fire going.
Why do you have to use paper are kerosene oil to start fire in wood or coal?
It is difficult to ignite wood or coal using a lit match. The match would burn down and singe your fingers long before the wood or coal would light. Using kindling of dry wood shaving, or thin twigs and dry grass, or paper (with or without kerosene), will ignite with one match and burn long enough to light a fire of wood or coal.
Will a block of ash wood float in methanol?
yes

Why kerosene float on water?
Kerosene is less dense than water.
Can ship float on kerosene or not?
Yes
Which has higher ignition temperature kerosene oil or wood?
kerosene
What happens if a ball made out of frozen kerosene is put into liquid kerosene does it float or sink?
it floats
A piece of ice is dropped in a beaker containing kerosene when ice melts level of kerosene will?
As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
Why does kerosene oil catch fire faster than wood?
This is because the specific heat capacity of the wood is more than the kerosene oil. So, the wood takes time to burn but burns for longer period than the kerosene oil.
Can wood float on honey?
Yes. Most wood can float on honey. However, petrified wood most likely would not float on honey.
Why do you need to burn kerosene oil to burn wood?
Kerosene is not needed to burn wood. If you use a layer of scrunched up newspaper, some small kindling on top of the paper, and progressively larger pieces of wood as the fire is starting, no kerosene or other product is necessary if the wood is seasoned and dry.

Which one has got higher ignition temperature wood or kerosene?
kerosene has got higher ignition temperature.
