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.
