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 !)

Is 25 milligrams lighter or heavier than 25 centigrams?
heavier because they are two different weights
Does soda weigh more than water?
Alcohol found in alcoholic beverages is lighter than water. It is called ethanol. But as far as chemistry is concerned alcohols are a large family of organic compounds. Alcohols are compounds whose molecules have a hydroxyl group attached to saturated carbon atom1 of a carbon chain. The chain may be short or long. Most monohydroxy alcohols are lighter than water. Some Diols(containing two hydroxyl groups ) and Triols(containing three hydroxyl groups ) are heavier than water. Example of diol heavier than water- ethylene glycol. Example of triol heavier than water-glycerol.
Is ice heavier than water?
Ice is lighter than water. That is why it floats on water.The term "lighter" is confusing here. A pound of water will still freeze into a pound of ice. However, the the pound of ice is less dense than the pound of water, so it floats. This gives the impression that a pound of ice is lighter than a pound of water. Well really, it depends on the quantity of both ice and water. However lets say if you had 1 kilogram of ice and 1 kilogram of water. The ice would weigh more because the particles are pulled together more and they're no longer liquid (physically) and the ice would be bigger and heavier (obviously) .
Does salt make water heavier?
No; water maintains a constant mass of 1 gram milliliter. If you add salt to the mix, it won't make the water heavier, although the combined weight of both salt and water put together will be greater than the water by itself. So no the water does not get heavier, your just adding more weight in the form of salt.
Wood charcoal is heavier than water yet floats on water?
Because that piece of charcoal is lighter that the water, so it floats.
Is Saturn lighter or heavier than water?
it is lighter than water.
Is a solution heavier than a solvent?
Depends on the solute: alcohol in water is lighter, salt in water is heavier than water.
What is heavier than water but lighter than mercury?
salted water
Do plastic float on water?
depends if the plastic is heavier or lighter than water and if its hold air which is lighter than water
Is water lighter than vegetable oil?
No water is heavier then oil.
If ice became a gas would it be heavier than a solid?
No, all gases are lighter than solids
Is Mercury heavier than water?
Yes it is. Do not play with mercury!
Is water lighter than carbon disulphide?
no,it is heavier than water and so it'll sink
Is carbon dioxide lighter than water?
Coal can be heavier or lighter than water depending on its type. Most types of coal are heavier than water in terms of density, however, broken bituminous coal has only a density of 0.833 kg/m3, so it is lighter than water.
Why icebergs float on water is iceberg heavier or lighter than water?
Hurrdy dur
Why is water heavier than the two gasses that compose it?
fluids are heavier than gases. When hydrogen its by itself is lighter than water as so the oxygen is also lighter. Once combined they form a fluid thus the combination of two gases produced a fluid which will turn heavier.
Is moist air heavier or lighter than dry air?
Moist air is heavier than dry air, because of the water.
