What solid is lighter than water but heavier than oil?
That is imposible ======================= Thank you. Now go to your room and study your spelling and punctuation lesson. What we need is a solid with a density less than 1 gm/cm3, and then an oil with a density less than that of the solid we found. Here are a couple of solids that float on water: -- Paraffin wax . . . 0.8 to 0.9 -- Sodium . . . 0.968 The question doesn't specify a particular type of oil. Here are a few I found that are lighter than water, paraffin, and sodium, along with their densities: -- Crude, 48° API . . . . 0.79 -- Crude, Texas . . . . 0.873 -- Vehicle gasoline . . 0.737 -- Kerosene . . . . . . 0.817 -- Olive oil . . . . . . . 0.80 to 0.92 If you add any of these liquids to a tall glass of water, they will float on top of it, and a lump of paraffin or sodium will float at the level where the oil and water meet. (Don't try this at home, at least not with sodium !)
What fuel does paraffin lamp use?
The fuel used is paraffin
Why does oil float on the water?
Because the specific gravity of oil is lower than that of water. The density of water is 1 g/cm 3 and since the density of oil is less than 1 g/cm 3 it will float. if the density was more than it would sink.
Is the density of any frozen oil less than that of liquid oil?
No. It is more dense.
If you mixed oil and vinegar together which one would rise to the top?
Oil has a lower density than vinegar. When oil and vinegar are mixed, the oil rises, or floats to the top.
How do you convert 5 kg of paraffin to liters?
You need to know the density of the paraffin. Density is defined by unit of mass per unit of volume. Paraffin oil has a density of approximately 0.8 gm per cubic cm. Paraffin wax slightly more at 0.9 gm per cubic cm.
Which liquid has a higher density between water and paraffin?
Water
What is the difference between paraffin oil and oil?
Paraffin oil is a derivative of petroleum. In solid forms, paraffin oil is a solid with 20-40 atom molecules. Petroleum is not a solid.
What is the state of paraffin oil at a temperature of 450?
Paraffin oil is a gas at 450 oC.
What is the Difference between paraffin oil and paraffin liquid?
Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid that is used as a lubricant, when this is melted down it becomes a paraffin liquid. Paraffin oil is used in cosmetics and medical settings and is a highly refined mineral oil.
Can paraffin oil be used to produce olive oil?
No. Paraffin is mineral oil (petroleum). Olive oil is only made from olives.
Why won't paraffin oil dissolve in sodium chloride?
Paraffin oil is a non-polar liquid.
How do you put PARAFFIN in a sentence?
I have made candles using paraffin wax. Paraffin oil is kerosene.
How do you remove paraffin smell from cupboard?
paraffin mineral oil smell
Palm oil and paraffin oil difference?
Palm oil refers to an edible vegetable oil while paraffin oil refers to an inflammable liquid hydrocarbon that used as a fuel.
Where is paraffin wax found?
Paraffin wax is produced by refining petroleum. All crude oil contains paraffin, and one of the byproducts of the refining process is a wax-and-oil mix called slack wax. When they separate the wax and oil, they get paraffin. So...paraffin wax comes from every country that has an oil refinery.
Why do gardeners sometimes burn paraffin oil?
Paraffin oil is considered as Horticultural Oils, which is burned for the purpose of pest control in the garden.
