Yes, a candle can float on olive oil if the candle is made of a material that is less dense than the oil and is designed to be buoyant. The wax used in candles is typically less dense than oil, allowing them to float. However, the wick and the candle's overall design can affect its buoyancy. If the candle absorbs enough oil or water, it may eventually sink.

No. It will float on top


Will a box that it's is mass is grams float in olive oil?

To float in olive oil the box needs to displace a volume of olive oil that has the same mass as the box - the less dense the oil (for example by being warmer) the more volume the box will need to displace to equal its mass. If it cannot displace a volume of olive oil that equals its mass, the box will sink. Or to put it another way, the box will float in olive oil as long as its density is less than that of the oil.


Will olive oil and water separate by distillation?

Yes... oil will float on top


Can a block float in olive oil?

If it is lighter than the oil, it will float, if not it won't. Most plastics are about the same density of most oils. Some will float some won't.


Is candle wax ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent also what type of bonding does sugar salt and olive oil have?

Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.


Does ebony float in olive oil?

No. Ebony is one of the few woods that doesn't float in water. Oil is lighter than water so ebony won't float in that either.

What would happen if you mixed water olive oil and an ice cube?

What material floats in water but sinks in olive oil what is the material?

It depends on how the ice was frozen, but ice (frozen water) will float in water and will probably have a greater density than olive oil, so it will sink in olive oil.


Can 19.2 grams float in olive oil?

Whether 19.2 grams can float in olive oil depends on the density of the object in question. If the object's density is less than that of olive oil (approximately 0.91 grams per cubic centimeter), it will float. Conversely, if the object's density is greater, it will sink. The weight alone (19.2 grams) does not determine buoyancy; the object's volume and density are also crucial factors.
