According to http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/IngaDorfman.shtml, the average density of cooking oils at approximately room temperature varies from 0.91 g/cm^s to 0.93 g/cm^3, depending on the precise temperature and the type of oil.

For comparison, the density of water is 1.00 g/cm^3 at 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 Fahrenheit), but at room temperature (20 Celsius, or 68 Fahrenheit) the density of water decreases to 0.9982 g/com^3 (from http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_water.htm).

What is the density of mineral oil?

The density of mineral oil typically ranges from 0.8 to 0.87 grams per cubic centimeter at room temperature.


What is the density of garlic oil?

The density of garlic oil is typically around 0.882 grams per milliliter at room temperature. However, this can vary slightly depending on the specific composition and temperature of the oil.


What is the density of heavy fuel oil bunker at 15 degrees Celsius?

The density of heavy fuel oil bunker at 15 degrees Celsius typically ranges from 0.95 to 1.03 grams per cubic centimeter, depending on its composition and grade. It is important to consult the specific technical data sheet or supplier for the exact density of the particular product in use.


How is the density of oil an advantage in the cleanup?

The density of oil is less than the density of water (which is about 1.0 g/mL). So the two liquids will stratify and create layers based on their comparative densities. Since oil is less dense than water, oil will rise to the surface and can easily be taken out. To test this, you could put water in a bowl or a pot, then put in some cooking oil (it doesn't matter what kind). You will see for yourself that the oil remains on the surface of the water, because it is less dense.


In a gas field in anticline why is the gas above oil and oil above water?

In an anticline, the gas occupies the topmost position because it is the lightest hydrocarbon component and tends to migrate upwards due to its lower density. Oil, being denser than gas but lighter than water, occupies the middle layer. Water, being the heaviest component, settles at the bottom of the formation due to its higher density.
