What else can I help you with?
If gasoline is poured carefully into liquid water will it sink or float explain?
Gasoline is less dense than water, so it will float on top of the water rather than sinking. The difference in density between the two liquids causes the gasoline to create a distinct layer on top of the water.
Can octanol float on water?
Octanol is less dense than water, so it can float on the surface of water. This is because octanol is an organic compound with a lower density than water, allowing it to remain on top when the two liquids are combined.
Which liquid floats on top water or kerosene?
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
When water and decane are mixed which layer will float on top?
Water is denser than decane, so the water layer will sink to the bottom while the decane layer will float on top.
How will density determined the order that liquids will stack when placed in the same containers water?
If the liquids are immiscible (cannot be mixed - such as cooking oil and water), they will separate with the most dense at the bottom and the least dense at the top. If they are miscible, such as alcohol and water, they might still briefly separate by density, but will soon become a homologous solution with no distinguisable layers.
Why can liquids float on each other?
Liquids can float on each other due to differences in their densities. When a less dense liquid is poured on top of a denser liquid, it will float because it is lighter and less likely to sink. This is known as stratification, where liquids of different densities form layers with the least dense liquid on top.
Does salt water float?
On some liquids it will float, on others it will not.
Does a less dense liquid float?
Yes, less dense liquids float on top of denser liquids. This is due to buoyancy, where objects with less density displace an equal weight of the denser fluid, causing them to float. This principle is why substances like oil float on water.
What has 3 liquids floating on top of each other and has three solids in it?
3 liquids- oil, water, and cleaning stuff can float on top of each other 3 solids- foil, paper, rocks
If gasoline is poured carefully into liquid water will it sink or float explain?
Gasoline is less dense than water, so it will float on top of the water rather than sinking. The difference in density between the two liquids causes the gasoline to create a distinct layer on top of the water.
What liquids can a needle float on?
A needle can be made to float on very still water.
Can octanol float on water?
Octanol is less dense than water, so it can float on the surface of water. This is because octanol is an organic compound with a lower density than water, allowing it to remain on top when the two liquids are combined.
Which of the following liquids form a single layer on mixing?
Liquids that are immiscible (do not mix) will form a single layer when mixed. Examples include oil and water, where the oil will float on top of the water, forming distinct layers.
Do legos float in liquids?
What liquid? Being plastic, they certainly float in water.
Which liquid floats on top water or kerosene?
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
What type of water do items float in?
Items generally float in liquids that are denser than they are, such as water. The saltier the water, the denser it becomes, which is why objects tend to float more easily in saltwater compared to freshwater. Other liquids, like oil, would also cause items to float because they are less dense than water.
Why some liquids float on water though they are denser than water?
They don't mix.
