It depends how you mean when you are asking...

If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical formula?" then the answer is yes, a simple example would be to show how the manganate and permanganate ions both have the formula (MnO4) but have different charges. Therefor, any liquid forms of the formula MnO4 could vary since the two polyatomic ions react very differently, however they would have the same chemical formula technically.

However...

If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical composition (ie be made of the exact same molecules)?" then the answer, unfortunately, is maybe. Temperature and pressure can greatly affect the way molecules bond, and may affect the density. Therefor, if the one liquid was divided and put into two different temperatures and/or pressures then the densities could in theory change. However, this may change the state of the liquid, even possibly turning it into a gas or a plasma, and thus, it would no longer be a liquid. However, the substance would still be the "liquid" that you started with, the difference would be a change in the state of the matter.

So to answer your question, yes, two unidentified liquids with different densities can be the same liquid.

How would liquids with different densities look in a container?

Liquids with different densities in a container will layer based on their density, with the most dense liquid at the bottom and the least dense at the top. The liquids will not mix together but form distinct layers based on their respective densities.


Liquids that do not mix form into layers when they have different densities true or false?

True. Liquids with different densities that do not mix will naturally separate and form distinct layers based on their respective densities, with the denser liquid settling at the bottom and the less dense liquid layering on top. This phenomenon is known as liquid stratification.


Can liquids be layered?

Yes, liquids can be layered based on their densities. When liquids of different densities are carefully poured into a container, they will naturally separate into distinct layers, with the densest liquid sinking to the bottom and the least dense staying at the top. This is due to the principle of buoyancy and gravity.


Why can liquids float on each other?

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.


What is the scientific explanation for the layers of liquids?

Liquids of different densities are immiscible, meaning they don't mix together. When different liquids are poured into a container, they separate based on their densities, with the most dense liquid at the bottom and the least dense at the top, forming distinct layers. This separation is due to gravity, which pulls the denser liquid down, displacing the lighter liquid above it.


What happens if you mix together liquids that have different densities?

When liquids with different densities are mixed together, they will initially form layers based on their respective densities, with the denser liquid sinking to the bottom and the less dense liquid floating on top. Over time, due to diffusion and mixing caused by molecular motion, the liquids will start to mix and form a homogeneous solution. The final outcome will depend on the specific densities and properties of the liquids involved in the mixture.


Do all liquid have the same mass?

No, not all liquids have the same mass. The mass of a liquid depends on its density and volume. Different liquids have different densities, so their masses will vary even if they have the same volume.


Three liquids with different are dumped into a glass What do you expect to see?

They form individual layers depending on their densities...the liquids with lighter density floats on liquid with heavier density......


What is the liquid in the inside of a density ball?

The liquid inside a density ball is usually a mixture of different liquids with varying densities, such as water, glycerin, or colored oils. The different densities of these liquids allow the ball to float at different levels when placed in a liquid.


When an object immersed in 3 different liquids. Will it experiences same buoyant force due to all the liquids?

No, the object will experience different buoyant forces in each liquid depending on the density of the liquid. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object, so if the densities of the liquids are different, the buoyant forces will be different.


Does every liquid weights the same?

The vast majority of liquids have different densities. The weight of a liquid depends on the force of gravity and the mass of the liquid. The mass of a liquid depends on the volume of liquid and the density of liquid. Therefore, the vast majority of liquids have different masses, densities and corresponding weights.


How do densities of liquids compare to their position in their container?

In general, liquids tend to have higher densities at the bottom of a container and lower densities at the top. This is because of the effect of gravity causing denser liquid to sink to the bottom and less dense liquid to rise to the top.
