Why would a solvent like turpentine be better for removing grease and grime than water?
Turpentine and greases are both nonpolar compounds.
Which is more dense xylene or trichloroethane?
Between Xylene and Trichloroethane I think the Trichloroethane is the denser of the two. When water and trichloroethane are mixed, regardless of the quantity of water, trichlorothane is consistently denser then water. On the other hand when you mix xylene and water, water is the more dense liquid. It's my conclusion that since trichloroethane is denser than water and water is denser then xylene, then the trichloroethane must be more denser then xylene.
Which is denser sodium or zinc?
Zinc is denser, because a pellet of it will sink in water. Sodium is not as dense as water, because it floats on thre surface ], when reacting with water.
Is a marble denser than water?
Yes if it floats. Does Marble float in water? If not then the answer is no.

What is denser water or vinegar?
Vinegar is denser than water because vinegar is made of different substances that are denser than water, so that means vinegar is a little denser than water.
Would turpentine settle to the bottom when mixed with water?
No. Turpentine does not sink in water. Like many oil based organic solvents, turpentine floats in pure water. Engineers and scientists use a measurement called Specific Gravity to measure how dense a liquid is in comparison to that of water. Pure turpentine has a Specific Gravity of 0.85(@25 deg Celsius). On the other hand, water has a specific gravity of 1.0. That means that turpentine at will eventually float to the top of a water bath.
Is chalk denser than water?

What is denser fresh or sea water?
Salt water is denser than fresh water.
Does turpentine expand?
Yes, turpentine does expand. In fact, it expands more than oil, water and benzene!

Why is wood denser than water?
Most types of wood are not denser than water--they float in/on water. For the wood types that are denser than water, the explanation is that they contain molecules that are denser than water (e.g. resin) and the average distance between molecules is smaller.
