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.

Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
Will vinegar float in oil?
No. Oil will float on vinegar as vinegar has the same density as water.
Is ice more dense than oil?
yes,ice is denser than oil.this has also been proven
How do you measure the density of oil in water?
Objects/substances that are more dense sink relative to objects/substances that are less dense. Pour the oil and water into the one container contemporaneously. Then wait. The less dense substance will rise to the top.
What liquid has a density less than water?
Volatile liquids such as alcohol and ethanol have less density than water. They also evaporate faster than water does.
Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
What has more density water oil or syrup?
of coarse oil
Why does vegatable oil sit flat on top of water?
vegatable oil sit flat on top of water because of density. Density of vegetable oil is more then water .Hence oil float
Is water more or less dense than oil?
The density of water is greater than that of oil.
What happens to the density when corn oil is poured into water?
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.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
Why does oil float on the water?
Because the specific gravity of oil is lower than that of water. The density of water is 1 g/cm 3 and since the density of oil is less than 1 g/cm 3 it will float. if the density was more than it would sink.
Does water have greater density than oil?
No, water has more density than oil. If something denser than water(Eg=Iron) is dropped to water, it sinks, while less denser will float. Oil floats on water. Really I've tested it
Why does water weigh more than cooking oil?
It dosent, waters density is lower then cooking oil, resulting in cooking oil floating on water
Why oil and water dissolve?
the density of oil is more than the water.so,they will never dissolve with each other, rather the oil will float over the water.
How do you purify fuel oil having density more than one?
use centrifuge.. :)) How can you use centrifuge because sealing water density is 'One' and you will be feeding oil having density more than 'One'
Is an oil with the density 0.9 denser than water?
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.
