Why would a solvent like turpentine be better for removing grease and grime than water?
Turpentine is better for removing grease and grime than water because it is a solvent that can dissolve oil-based substances, which water cannot do effectively. Turpentine also evaporates quickly, leaving behind a clean surface.
How would you separate a mixture of water and turpentine?
get yourself a seperating funnel, pour the mixture into the funnel and wait for the mixture to seperate. You should see two distinct layers that seperated, where water will be "floating" on top of turpentine. You know what to do next.
Is charcoal denser than water?
Yes, charcoal is denser than water. Charcoal has a higher density than water, which means that it will sink in water.
What is rectified turpentine?
There are several types of turpentine. Rectified turpentine is, arguably, a bit of a misnomer when it comes to 'true' turpentine. While regular or distilled turpentine is the sap from a tree (normally pine) tapped in a similar manner to maple syrup, rectified turpentine goes through an entirely different process. Rectified turpentine is made by literally mashing up trunk, limbs and leaves of a tree, then steaming out the spirits. Because of this, rectified turpentine has water, and therefore excess oxygen which can cause undesirable drying patterns in projects or art.
Is a marble denser than water?
Yes if it floats. Does Marble float in water? If not then the answer is no.
Would gasoline turpentine or mercury settle to the bottom when mixed with water?
Gasoline and turpentine are less dense than water and would float on the surface, while mercury is denser than water and would sink to the bottom when mixed with water.
Which liquid settle at the bottom gasoline turpentine and mercury?
Mercury is the liquid that will settle at the bottom, as it is denser than both gasoline and turpentine. Gasoline and turpentine are less dense and will float on top of the mercury.
Will turpentine float in water?
Yes, turpentine will float on water because it is less dense than water due to its lower weight.
Is turpentine thicker or thinner that water?
Turpentine is a hydrocarbon that is less dense than water, therefore given equivalent volumes it would be lighter.
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.
Does turpentine expand?
Yes, turpentine does expand. In fact, it expands more than oil, water and benzene!
Which is denser salt water of fresh water?
salt water is denser
What is the pH of turpentine?
Turpentine is a non-polar organic solvent and does not contain any acidic or basic components that would affect its pH. Therefore, turpentine does not have a pH value as it does not dissociate in water to release hydrogen ions. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, and since turpentine is not a solution in water, it does not have a pH.

What is denser water or vinegar?
Vinegar is denser than water because vinegar is made of different substances that are denser than water, so that means vinegar is a little denser than water.
Is chalk denser than water?
yes chalk is denser then water.
