The more-dense liquid will sink because it's more dense and this is the lowest-energy state. If both are polar or both are nonpolar, some mixing will occur, but the effect can still be seen.

Some liquids are denser than water, causing them to sink. This is because they have more mass per unit volume than water, so they displace less water and sink to the bottom.


Why do some liquids sinks in liquids?

Some liquids sink in other liquids due to differences in density. When a liquid is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink because of gravity. This is similar to how some objects sink or float in water based on their density compared to the water.

Does water float or sink when applied as fire extinguisher to a drum of burning liquids?

In MOST burning liquids, the water will sink, creating an explosion of steam as it become super-heated, causing the fire to spread rapidly. Some aqueous film-forming fire extinguishers generate a foam that floats on the surface, smothering the fire.


Are solids Less dense than liquids?

Not necessarily. The density of a substance depends on its mass and volume, so it can vary for both solids and liquids. In general, solids are denser than liquids because the particles in solids are typically more closely packed together.


How can you look at liquids and determine if they have a high or low density when added together?

Higher dense liquids sink to the bottom. Liquid with lower densities go on top.

False. It is not advisable to pour all liquids down the sink, as some chemicals may be hazardous or harmful to the plumbing or the environment. Always follow proper disposal guidelines for specific substances, and consult safety data sheets or laboratory protocols for appropriate disposal methods.
