Is what density is oil?
The term density has the same meaning when applied to motor oil that it has in any other context. It means weight divided by volume, or in other words, for a given volume of substance, how heavy is it? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Density of liquids is often compared to that of water. Motor oils, have various densities based upon the additives used in them as well as whether they are synthetic or mineral oils. You will find the densities of different oils will typically fall between 0.72 and 0.87 specific gravity at 60 degrees F compared to water at 60 degrees F. As oils (and water) are heated (or cooled) their densities change accordingly. Some oils are actually heavier than water and will sink, but these are usually special types.

What are two compounds of soap?
Oils and fats for soap are compounds of glycerin and a fatty acid. When oils are mixed with an alkali, they form glycerin and the sodium salt of the fatty acid. The fatty acids required for soap making are supplied by tallow, grease, fish oils, and vegetable oils. The hardness, lathering qualities, and transparency of soap vary according to the combinations of fats and alkalis used as ingredients. An experienced soap crafter uses many combinations of oils.
