Gasoline will float because it has a lighter density than water. Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3 and gas has a density of about 0.7 g/cm3

How do you separate water sand and gasoline?
by using the seperating techniques first you seperate it from the sand by filtration then you use a seperatin funnel and pour the filtrarte (the liquid in this case the gasoline and water) in this the liquid with higher density will sink (the gasoline) and you open the tap till almost al the liquid of higher density is out
In which liquids will an ice cube float?
in water or anything which is denser than ice
Does feldspar float in water?
no,it does not float
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
What two characteristics of earth allow liquid water to exist?
-Gravity (so it doesnt float away) -Temp (not too hot or cold)
If gasoline is poured carefully into liquid water will it sink or float explain?
Float. Gasoline is less dense than water.
Will petrol float or sink in water?
It'll float, and give that iridiscent sheen on the surface.
Are there other solids besides ice and water that will float in the same liquid?
Oil/petroleum (gasoline?) will float on top of water as well.
What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
Will a 25 ml liquid weighing 25.25 g poured into a container float?
Leaving aside the question of whether the liquid will mix with whatever it is meant to float (or not) upon, the answer depends on what substance it is required to float upon. If mercury, yes, it will float (if it does not mix). Pure water, it certainly will not (but could mix).
What liquid can ice sink in?
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
When milk is mixed with and gasoline which substance will float?
Gasoline
Which of these liquids flows fastest when poured?
The liquid that flows the fastest when poured is the least viscus. This liquid might be liquid water for example.
When milk is mixed with gasoline which substances will float?
The fats (i.e. cream) from the milk will dissolve in the gasoline and the the resulting gasoline/cream solution will float on the water from the milk.
If a liquid is poured into water and falls to the bottom the density must be greater than what?
If a liquid is poured into water and falls to the bottom the density must be greater than 1.
If you poured oil into a glass of water would it sink or float?
it won't cuz
Would gasoline turpentine or mercury settle at the bottom of water?
Of the three, only mercury (a liquid metal) is heavier than water and would sink to the bottom. Gasoline is partly miscible (forms suspensions in water), while turpentine has a lower density than water and would float on top.
