Because:
1) It has less density than water, and
2) it doesn't mix with water.
The oils have low density as compared to water and oils are non polar organic compounds while water is a polar compound, so oil can not mix with water and floats on waters surface.
it floats on water because bark contains air Bark floats in water because it is less dense than water.
No, in general most oils are LESS dense than water.
oil doesn't settle in salt water nor fresh water, it floats to the top
gasoline/petrol,,,,,,,,,,, oil base products
Oil floats on water because water is denser than oil.
No. Oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
yes, it floats on water because it is lighter in weight.
Corn oil floats on water. It floats because oil is less dense than water. When one substance is less dense than another it rises to the top.
The oils have low density as compared to water and oils are non polar organic compounds while water is a polar compound, so oil can not mix with water and floats on waters surface.
Because water is heavier than oil.So oil is lighter and it floats above the water surface.That is why when there are oil spills, you can esily see oil float over water.
Yes - Oil is lighter than water. Petrol, or gasoline, floats on water because it is lighter that water.
Because a pebble is denser than water thus making it sink oil is not denser than water. you can test this by pouring some oil in a glass of water it floats on top of the water it doesn't sink it is the same theory with the oil tanker in the sea.
It floats because the density of water is bigger than the oil.
It floats because the density of water is bigger than the oil.
It floats because the density of water is bigger than the oil.
