No water is heavier then oil.
Lighter liquids (like water or vegetable oil) are less dense than heavier liquids (like honey or corn syrup) so they float on top of the heavier liquids. ... How Does It Work. Material Density (g/cm3) Milk 1.03 Water 1.00 Ice Cube 0.92 Vegetable Oil 0.92
Oil is less dense than water.
Water is heavier than oil. Oil floats on water.
No, cola is (slightly) more dense than water, which is more dense than vegetable oil.
oil and water never mix together. water is heavier than oil. so,oil float on the water.
Becaus oil is thicker and heavier than water
Yes, because water is heavier than oil.
The short answer is, it depends on which oil you're talking about. There are many different things that are considered "oils". For the most part, an oil is: hydrophobic (is repelled by water / doesn't mix with water), a liquid at 25°C, and is soluble in (mixes with) organic solvents. How 'heavy' something is is determined by density. One way to describe the density of a liquid is by giving its 'specific gravity', which means how heavy is it compared to water. The specific gravity of water is 1, so any oil with a specific gravity greater than 1 will sink in water, while any oil with a specific gravity lower than 1 will float on water. Most things that people are likely to encounter that they call 'oil', such as motor or vegetable oil, are lighter than water, but there certainly are oils that are heavier than water.
Vegetable oil is lighter than pure water, which in turn is (somewhat) lighter than white vinegar.
Oil heavier than water must have a density greater than 1 gm/cc. In oil field terms, this is stated as an API gravity of 10. There are a number of large deposits of oil with low API gravities. On the related link, descriptions and occurrences of heavy and extra heavy oil are provided.
Water is more viscous than methylated spirits, and vegetable oils are more viscous than water.
