Water at different temperatures has different densities. Water at 4°C, is the densest and so it is heavier by volume than water at lower or higher temperatures. However, when water is mixed, the temperature will become the average of the two water temperatures. This means that you can't see one floating on the other - even if you coloured one of the water temperatures, it would mix almost immediately.
Something else to consider is that water is not as homogenous as most people think. Naturally occuring water contains deuterium oxide, 17O and 18O isotope water, and tritiated water are forms of heavy water.

Why lower acid value is better than higher acid value?
nano technology in chemistry?
Will the pH of a buffer solution be higher or lower than the pH of a weak acid?
The pH of buffer solution will be higher (Less acidic) than the corresponding acid because the common ion effect in buffer mixture suppressed the ionization of acid.
Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?
Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
Do strong acids have higher concentrations than weak acids?
No. The concentration of and acid and the strength of an acid are two unrelated values. The strength of an acid is the degree to which it will break apart into ions when dissolved in water. It is an inherent property of any given acid. The concentration of an acid is how much of it is present in proportion to its solvent (usually water) and is independent of any properties of the acid itself. You can take a solution of some acid and add it to water to lower the concentration or boil off some water to raise the concentration, but the properties of the acid itself remain the same.
Is saliva higher or lower pH than smotach acid?
Higher
Acid in soap?
Soap is usually caustic not acid. Higher than ph7, not lower.
Why can't a chemical be both base and an acid?
An "acid" is a chemical that has a PH lower than 7.0 and a "base" is a chemical that has a PH higher than 7.0. It would be impossible for a chemical to have a PH both lower and higher than 7.0 at the same time. Pure water has a PH of exactly 7.0 and is therefore neither an acid nor a base.
Would the freezing point of stearic acid be higher or lower if impured?
if the stearic acid were impure, would the freezing point of stearic acid be higher or lower than the value you obtain in this experiment.
Why lower acid value is better than higher acid value?
nano technology in chemistry?
Is pH of a basic solution higher or lower than pH of a acid solution?
A basic pH is higher than an acidic or neutral pH.
Does things sink in water if they have higher or lower densities than water?
things that have higher density than water will sink as a needle but a hip doesnot.
Soap has which acid?
Soaps are made from animal fats and their fatty acids.Soap is usually caustic not acid. Higher than ph7, not lower.
Will the pH of a buffer solution be higher or lower than the pH of a weak acid?
The pH of buffer solution will be higher (Less acidic) than the corresponding acid because the common ion effect in buffer mixture suppressed the ionization of acid.
Describes a solution with a pH lower than the pH of distilled water?
Water is neutral (pH 7). Lower numbers than 7 are acids- the lower the number, the stronger the acid.
Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
Is 7 a high pH level?
No, 7 is neutral. Higher than seven is a base, and lower than 7 is an acid.
