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.

What happens when corn is put in water?
you have wet corn
Which substance has the greater density corn syrup or milk?
The density of corn syrup is 1380g/L where milk has a density of between 1030 and 1040g/L. The density of milk is much less than the density of corn syrup. Milk is closer to water (1000g/L) since this is a major constituent.
Why does corn syrup have more density than water?
Corn syrup has a greater density then water because corn syrup is thicker
Which has more density water alcohol salt water or corn syrup?
Corn syrup is the most dense. Imagine pouring each into a graduated cylinder the corn syrup would sink to the bottom
Why does water float on corn syrup?
Water floats on corn syrup because it is less dense than corn syrup. If you want a more complete understanding look below: Let us imagine a small volume element of water(lets assume it to be a sphere) with a volume of 1 cm^3. If you place this sphere of water in corn syrup there are two forces acting on it: the force of gravity and the bouyant force. The force of gravity of the sphere of water = mass*g where g is the acceleration due to gravitythe mass of the sphere is equal to the density of water times the volume(which we set before to be equal to 1 cm^3. The bouyant force as described by Archimedes is equal to the opposite of the force exerted by the force of gravity on a similar volume element of the surrounding substance. This is more easily understood as:Fb=(mass of displaced fluid)*gFb=(density of corn syrup)*volume*gFb=(density of corn syrup)*(1cm^3)*g So the force up on the volume element of water is equal to Fb where the force down is equal to the force of weight due to gravity. In this example we can see that the force up is greater because: Fb/Fg=(density of corn syrup)/(density of water) > 1 because the density of corn syrup is greater than the density of water. Therefore there is a larger force up than downwards which is why water when placed in corn syrup will move upwards. Hope that helps.
How did Homer Simpson set his corn flakes on fire?
He poured milk into it.
What happens to corn-starch when mixed with water?
It becomes a colloidal suspension with the corn starch suspended in fhe meduium if water.
What happens if fresh corn was cooked ie put in boiling water and left in water for long time couple of days and not in the fridge?
Corn in warm water provides an ideal environment for growing bacteria, so the corn is spoiled and should be thrown out.
Which has higher density lemon juice or corn syrup?
corn syrup
What is the density of corn syrup per gallon?
Density cannot be measured in grams, so the question cannot be answered.
Which would float on water corn oil glycerine corn syrup wood rubber ice?
In order to float on water, the object would have to have a density of less than 1g/mL, which is stated 1gram per milliliter, not over milliliter.
Why does syrup have more density than vegetable oil?
Corn syrup has more density: about 1.360 g/ml. Vegetable oil is about 0.89 g/ml.
