No. Depending on the purity, ethanol (the alcohol in booze) can float on kerosene, but only barely. For the most part, yes.
plastic will float in water because it is lighter than oil
Yes, a plastic ball will float on oil. This is because plastic is less dense than oil, causing it to float on the surface. The principle at work here is buoyancy, where an object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in. In this case, the plastic ball is less dense than the oil, allowing it to float.

No, soapstone is dense, non-porous and does not absorb liquids. Water and oil can be adsorbed by talc and soapstone.
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
Liquids can float on each other due to differences in their densities. When a less dense liquid is poured on top of a denser liquid, it will float because it is lighter and less likely to sink. This is known as stratification, where liquids of different densities form layers with the least dense liquid on top.
They are immiscible liquids! Can't be mixed at all. Oil is less dense than water and will hence float on water
No, charcoal does not float on oil because it is denser than oil. Charcoal is made from carbon-rich materials and typically sinks in liquids like oil due to its higher density.
Yes, less dense liquids float on top of denser liquids. This is due to buoyancy, where objects with less density displace an equal weight of the denser fluid, causing them to float. This principle is why substances like oil float on water.
well sometimes bcuz how the water is like lets say the oil it wouldn't be good to put objects to float.

On some liquids it will float, on others it will not.
Liquids that are immiscible (do not mix) will form a single layer when mixed. Examples include oil and water, where the oil will float on top of the water, forming distinct layers.
Not all liquids are flammable. Some liquids that are flammable are gasoline, alcohol, oil. Liquids like water are not flammable.
Items generally float in liquids that are denser than they are, such as water. The saltier the water, the denser it becomes, which is why objects tend to float more easily in saltwater compared to freshwater. Other liquids, like oil, would also cause items to float because they are less dense than water.
in water or anything which is denser than ice
no because some oil have a heavier density
