The vegetable oil is more dense than ethanol. Vegetable has a density of around 0.9 g/cm3, which varies very slightly depending on the oil. The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm3
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.
vegatable oil sit flat on top of water because of density. Density of vegetable oil is more then water .Hence oil float
There would be two layers present. One layer would consist of a water-ethanol mixture. The other layer would be the vegetable oil. This occurs because water and ethanol are both polar and can participate in hydrogen bonding. Therefore, they are miscible in each other. However, vegetable oil is non polar and will not mix with either ethanol or water.
Density does not depend on the volume - so the answer is the same for 1 tablespoon or 1 gallon. Since there is a great deal of variability in vegetable oils, an exact answer is not possible. However, most would be in the 0.91 - 0.93 g/mL range. This is slightly less than water, which is why vegetable oil floats on top. If you need to determine the exact density - measure out a specific volume and determine the mass using a balance. The mass divided by the volume is the density.
Vegetable oil
Vegetable Oil is used to make biodiesel, and corn is used to make ethanol for a gasoline substitute.
Oil has a density of about 0.8 - 0.9. Mouthwash (which is naminly water) has a density of about 1. So no, mouthwash is denser.
yes, because vegetable oil has a density of .92g/cm3 while milk has a density of 1.1 g/cm3
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
Vegetable oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Since the mass of vegetable oil is less than the same volume of water, it displaces less water and floats on top.

Ammonia dissolves better in motor oil than in vegetable oil because motor oil is more immiscible than vegetable oil. Also, motor oil molecules are more non-polar than vegetable oil.
