Is oil denser than kerosene?
No it is lighter then water that is why it floats on top.
Hydrogen bonds create unusual properties in water what are they?
Liquid water is denser than ice.,Ice floats on top of liquid water. apex mike asencio
What characteristic of water is not a result of hydrogen bonding?
Liquid water is denser than ice. Hence, Ice floats on top of liquid water. It has a relatively high boiling point. It is a good solvent.
Can spirit and kerosene mix?
Water (H2O) and kerosene (C12H26) do not mix, i.e. they are not miscible. This is due to H20 being polar and C12H26 being different, that is non-polar, through the concept of "like dissolves like."
Since gasoline and water are immiscible they will form layers one on top of the other What properties of the gasoline and water account for the layering?
layering occurs because one liquid is less dense than the other, and therefore floats on top of the more dense liquid. density is calculated as grams / vol. layering occurs because one liquid is less dense than the other, and therefore floats on top of the more dense liquid. density is calculated as grams / vol.
What is waters characteristics because of hydrogen bonding?
Liquid water is denser than ice,Ice floats on top of liquid water.
Is oil denser than kerosene?
No it is lighter then water that is why it floats on top.
What liquid floats on top of canola oil?
the liquid that floats on canola oil is thing that is denser than it
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.

Why is fire not extinguished with water if caught by kerosene?
Kerosene is lighter than water... the burning fuel simply floats on top of any water used. The only safe way to extinguish fuel fires is with foam - as it forms an air-tight 'blanket' cutting off the oxygen.

What subsance has a solid form that floats on its liquid form?
All pure substances do. Many substances with mixed compositions do also, although not all (for instance, you'll never see cotton as a liquid... or liquid wood...).
What prevents the lakes of colder parts of the world from freezing solid from bottom up?
Ice is 9% less dense than water so it floats. When water freezes it floats to the top so the water (liquid) is always at the bottom.

How do water's relative densities an a solid a liquid deffer from that most other substances?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. The solid state of other substances is more dense than the liquid state and will sink in the liquid.
