Oil is lighter than water.
No, a ball will float higher in oil than in water because the density of oil is lower than that of water. The buoyant force experienced by the ball in oil is greater, causing it to float higher.
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
Because oil is less dense than water.
oil and water <><><> Some liquids, such as oil and water, do not mix- as they have different densities- so the lighter one (oil) will float on the heavier one.
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.
Oil will float to the surface of the water.So,any living things in the water cannot get any oxygen and they will die .
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.

Don’t put it in the ocean
No, oil spills may happen in rivers and harbours too.
Simple, you just burn the oil which will be on top of the water. All the oil will burn up leaving just the ocean.
If your topic is oil spills in the ocean 'How was oil spilled in the Mississippi River?' is not a good question to ask.
Oil spills in the ocean can cause animals to be harmed because they become coated with oil and so does their food.
They don't do it intentionally. Spills are accidents.
Oil spills can effect the ocean and environment because it polutes the ocean and the air which can start to cause global warming, (WEATHER AN CLIMATE CHANGE).
Oil spills are notoriously hard to ignite as the cold ocean water keeps the oil below the ignition temperature. In oil removal operations where oil is to be burned of it is necessary to sink ceramic balls into the oil to float on the water to insulate the oil from the cold. If an oil spill were to ignite and this was not desirable fire boats could spray water mist onto the flame base to cool the oil and douse the fire. More likely the fire. would be allowed to burn itaelf out
