Objects/substances that are more dense sink relative to objects/substances that are less dense. Pour the oil and water into the one container contemporaneously. Then wait. The less dense substance will rise to the top.

Does oil or water have a lower density?

Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.


Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?

Type your answer here... the oil has more density


Is an oil with the density 0.9 denser than water?

No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.


How to determine specific gravity of oils?

The term specific gravity means density in comparison to that of water. Density is weight divided by volume. So to get the volume, pour the oil into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup (same principle). To get the weight, use a scale (a chemist would use a triple beam balance). Once you have the density you can divide it by the density of water, and the result is the specific gravity.


Why oil not mixed with water?

Because of different densities; being density of oil lower than water density, this makes oil float on water


Does oil or water have the lower density?

Oil


Is the density of water more then the density of oil?

Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.


Why does vegatable oil sit flat on top of water?

vegatable oil sit flat on top of water because of density. Density of vegetable oil is more then water .Hence oil float


How you can convert Density of Crude oil into specific Gravity?

The same way you convert any density to specific gravity. Just divide the density of the substance (crude oil in this case) by the density of the reference substance (usually water, for liquids).


What happens to the density when corn oil is poured into water?

Water has a fixed density (depending on temperature), and it is more dense than corn oil by a little bit. If corn oil is added to water, the density of the mixture will decrease. This applies to "room temperature" water and oil. No one should be pouring hot oil into water.


How does the oils density compares to water?

The density of oil is generally lower than that of water, which means that oil floats on top of water. This difference in density is due to the composition of oils, which are usually less dense than water molecules.


Why water do not mix with oil?
