Vegetable oils vary a little depending on the vegetable they came from but the density is around 0.92 kg/m3 and the density of water is 1.00kg/m3 . Although both of these are at room temperature and change with temperature

What solids float in oil?
In order for something to float in vegetable oil, its density must be lower than the density of the vegetable oil. The density of vegetable oil varies, but is usually around 910g/liter, while water has a density of 1000g/liter. Any object with less than 910g/liter, or 0.91g/cm^3 will float in the vegetable oil.
What has a density of 0.647?
Something that will float in water.
If something has a density of 0.22 will it float in water?
Yes, water has a density of approximately 1
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
What is the density for something to float in water?
This density is under 1 g/cm3.
What are objects that easily float?
Anything that has a density that is lower than water will float. The lower something's density is, the more buoyancy it will have.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
Can something with a density of 3.119 float?
No. (in pure water or minimally diluted water)
Will something with a lower density float on something with a higher density?
A liquid with a higher density than 1g/cm3 (one gram per cubic centimeter) (the density of water) will sink in water.
What is the property of that makes something sink or float?
More or less density of the material compared to the density of the water.
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
How would you know if something would float on water?
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³ and the density of water is 1 g/cm.If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
