Which is lighter- vegetable oil or white vinegar?
Vegetable oil is lighter than pure water, which in turn is (somewhat) lighter than white vinegar.
Why is olive oil motor oil and vegetable oil lighter than water?
Due to the chemical composition of each of these oils (and oils in general), they are generally less dense than water
What liquid is denser than vegetable oil but lighter than milk?
Lighter liquids (like water or vegetable oil) are less dense than heavier liquids (like honey or corn syrup) so they float on top of the heavier liquids. ... How Does It Work. Material Density (g/cm3) Milk 1.03 Water 1.00 Ice Cube 0.92 Vegetable Oil 0.92
Why is water lighter than oil?
Oil is lighter than water due to it's lower specific gravity, specific gravity being the "density" of a fluid relative to water.
What is the weight of oil?
weight of oil is lighter than water
When a ocean spills why does the oil float on water?
Oil is lighter than water.
Does cola float in vegetable oil?
No, cola is (slightly) more dense than water, which is more dense than vegetable oil.
Does water float on petrol?
Yes - Oil is lighter than water. Petrol, or gasoline, floats on water because it is lighter that water.
Is oil heavier than water?
The short answer is, it depends on which oil you're talking about. There are many different things that are considered "oils". For the most part, an oil is: hydrophobic (is repelled by water / doesn't mix with water), a liquid at 25°C, and is soluble in (mixes with) organic solvents. How 'heavy' something is is determined by density. One way to describe the density of a liquid is by giving its 'specific gravity', which means how heavy is it compared to water. The specific gravity of water is 1, so any oil with a specific gravity greater than 1 will sink in water, while any oil with a specific gravity lower than 1 will float on water. Most things that people are likely to encounter that they call 'oil', such as motor or vegetable oil, are lighter than water, but there certainly are oils that are heavier than water.
Is oil and water the same thing?
No. Oil is a thicker liquid than water, although it is lighter than it and floats on top of it.
Does oil and water freeze together?
i think no because vegetable oil has more viscosity than water
Is water more viscous than vegetable oil and methylated spirits?
Water is more viscous than methylated spirits, and vegetable oils are more viscous than water.
