No, hexane is less dense than ethanol- hexane has a density of 0.6548g/mL and ethanol has a density of 0.789g/mL, so hexane will float on top of ethanol.
Corn oil floats on water. It floats because oil is less dense than water. When one substance is less dense than another it rises to the top.
Ethanol is less dense than water so it will initially float on a water surface. Given that ethanol is totally miscible with water, an ethanol layer on top of a water layer will diffuse into the water while the water will diffuse into the ethanol until a single uniform composition solution of alcohol and water is achieved.
oil
No. It will float on top
Yes... oil will float on top
it gets heavier
The oil will rise to the top and float on the water.
No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.
You can let the oil float to the top or you can use fairy liquid.
Oil and water separate because oil will float to the top and water will sink to the bottom. The reason oil wil float to the top because oil is non polar while water is compound polar. Separation by decantation and filtration.Separation by decantation and filtration.
You could let the oil float to the top and skim it off.
