The mass is extremely similar. Also note, different brands of whiskey would also have slightly different mass.
Oil is less dense than water. Therefore, equal volumes of water and oil will not have the same mass. You can prove this by weighing each. The cup of oil will weigh less.
Since oil will float on top of water, we can assume that the weight (or mass) of water is greater than that of oil.
Water has more mass than oil because water molecules are more tightly packed together and have a greater density than oil molecules. This means that the same volume of water will contain more mass compared to the same volume of oil. This is due to differences in molecular structure and composition between water and oil molecules.

Yes, because water is heavier than oil.
Vegetable oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Since the mass of vegetable oil is less than the same volume of water, it displaces less water and floats on top.
Just melt your shortening until you have one cup. Let it cool before using. It's the same thing.
i think you mean 'why does water have a greater density than oil?' Water is a polar substance because of hydrogen bonding that occurs between each H20 molecule. So imagine that these bonds pull the molecules closer together. So in the same volume you can get more molecules of water than you can of oil. This is because oil is non polar so therefore has no bonding between its molecules.
Oil
No cooking oil and water is NOT a solution it is a mixture. When you put cooking oil and water in the same bowl or cup in less than a minute the two will separate into two layers of liquids.
1 US cup = 236.588237 milliliters
Sand is at the bottom; water above and above water the oil.
