What else can I help you with?
Is water more or less dense than oil?
Water is more dense than oil. This is because water molecules are more compact and tightly packed together, leading to a higher density compared to oil molecules which are more spread out and less compact.
Why sugar cube floats on oil?
a solution of water and sugar has a greater density than plain water. Because the solution is more dense than plain water, objects of lower density than the solution will float
What substances float on oil?
All materials with a density greater than the density of this oil.
What has the greater mass oil or water?
i think you mean 'why does water have a greater density than oil?' Water is a polar substance because of hydrogen bonding that occurs between each H20 molecule. So imagine that these bonds pull the molecules closer together. So in the same volume you can get more molecules of water than you can of oil. This is because oil is non polar so therefore has no bonding between its molecules.
What do you think you would see if equal volumes of water and oil were placed in identical graduated cylinders on opposite pans of a balance?
You would see that the water mass was greater than the oil mass, both volumes being equal.water mass greater than oil masswater density greater than oil densityoil specific gravity less than 1.0 , relative to waterTypical water density = 1.0 g per mLTypical oil density = 0.85 g per mL
Is the density of water more then the density of oil?
Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.
Is water more or less dense than oil?
Water is more dense than oil. This is because water molecules are more compact and tightly packed together, leading to a higher density compared to oil molecules which are more spread out and less compact.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.

Does a ball float in water higher than in oil?
Yes, it does, because oil is lighter than water. The ball will sink more in oil than in water.
Which has greater density water or oil?
Oil is less dense Because its particles aren't as close together weighing it down. Water particles (H2O) are closer together (making the substance more dense) because they "want" to hydrogen bond with each other, which

Why does an object float in water sinks in kerosene oil?
No. The ice does not float on oil or kerosene, it is because a kerosene is a non-polar solute whil the ice which came from H2o is a polar solute in which it contradicts with each other. When the ice melts, the ice become water, the water is denser than kerosene, so the kerosene floats for it has a lighter density while the water sinks for it has a denser density.
Why does oil still float after the stirring stops?
Oil floats on water because it is less dense. Even after stirring stops, the oil will continue to float due to its natural buoyancy. The difference in densities between oil and water prevents them from mixing.
A plastic disks density is less than water but greater than oil if you put all three together in a glass container where would you see the plastic disk?
The plastic disk would float on top of the water but sink below the layer of oil in the glass container. This is because the density of the plastic disk is in between that of water and oil.
