No. They have very different densities. There are several types of alcohol, but for these purposes, we will use ethanol, the alcohol found in drinks.
Density of water ≈ 1g/cm3
Density of ethanol = 0.789g/cm3
Density of Mercury = 13.5 g/cm3
So water is about 20% denser than alcohol, and mercury is more than 13 times denser than water. Note that the density given from ethanol is for pure ethanol. Most Alcoholic Beverages are mixtures, with densities between those of water and pure ethanol.
What else can I help you with?
What are the products of an ester and water?
The products of a reaction between an ester and water are an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This reaction is known as hydrolysis and involves the breaking of the ester bond, which results in the formation of the alcohol and carboxylic acid molecules.
Why is it safe to assume that vinegar has the same density as water?
Vinegar is made of acetic acid and water. However, the actual amount of acetic acid in water is quite low (~5%). Also, the density of acetic acid is not so different from the density of water (at 25 °C, the density of water is 0.9970 g/mL and the density of acetic acid is 1.049 g/mL). These things make the density of vinegar just about the same as the density of water (although it will be just slightly greater than water -- for a 5% acetic acid mixture, I calculate a density of 0.9996 g/mL)
What does it mean when salfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.8?
Specific gravity of sulfuric acid = 1.8 specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water (waters density in the denominator). So this means the density is 1.8 g/mL
What is the reaction of an alkene and water in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce an alcohol called?
The reaction of an alkene and water in the presence of an acid catalyst is called an acid-catalyzed hydration reaction. This reaction forms an alcohol.
What is the general formula for ester?
The general formula for an ester is RCOOR', where R and R' represent alkyl or aryl groups. Esters are formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol, resulting in the elimination of water.
Examples of liquids other than water?
Alcohol, mercury, gasoline, sulfuric acid, paint and VERY cold oxygen.
What solvent would you use to measure the density of napthalene acid?
You can use a solvent like toluene or hexane to measure the density of napthalene acid using a density meter. These solvents are non-polar and have low solubility with napthalene acid, allowing for accurate density measurements.
Does a hydrometer measure density?
Hydrometer is the apparatus measuring relative density of the liquid subject in related to water. The output from measurement after multiplied with water density then would give the density.

When you combine alcohol and an organic acid to form water what do you get?
Water...
Effects of concentrated nitric acid on water samples containing mercury?
Mercury (as a metal) is soluble in concentrated nitric acid.
How does concentrated nitric acid affects water samples containing mercury?
Mercury (as a metal) is soluble in concentrated nitric acid.
What is the compound produced by the reaction between acid and alcohol with the elimination of water?
The compound produced by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol with the elimination of water is an ester. Esters are formed from the condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, resulting in the loss of a water molecule.
Does acetic acid and alcohol solution contain water?
Yes, acetic acid and alcohol solutions commonly contain water, as water is often used as a solvent for these compounds. The presence of water in the solution can depend on the concentration of acetic acid and alcohol used.
Is citric acid heavier than water?
No, citric acid is not heavier than water. The density of citric acid is lower than that of water, so citric acid will float on the surface of water.
What does it mean when salfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.8?
Specific gravity of sulfuric acid = 1.8 specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water (waters density in the denominator). So this means the density is 1.8 g/mL
