What substances float on oil?
All materials with a density greater than the density of this oil.
When milk is mixed with gasoline which substances will float?
The fats (i.e. cream) from the milk will dissolve in the gasoline and the the resulting gasoline/cream solution will float on the water from the milk.
How do substances layer?
Substances layer based on their density. The denser substances will sink to the bottom while the less dense substances will float on top. This separation occurs due to differences in the weight and mass of the substances.
What property does separation by density rely on to separate out parts of a solution?
Separation by density relies on the property that different substances have different densities, causing them to settle at different levels in a solution. With this property, substances of higher density will sink to the bottom while substances of lower density will float to the top, allowing for separation based on these differences.
Does A mixture contains different substances that are not chemically combined with one another?
Yes. A mixture contains different substances that are not chemically combined with one another. The parts of a mixture can be separated through physical means.
Can you use volume alone predict whether an object will sink or float?
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
What substances will float in water?
oil
What are two substances that will float on water?
Oil and wood are two substances that will float on water due to their lower density compared to water.
What other substances will make an egg float?
An egg will float in anything with a density greater than an egg.
Why don't mostsubstance float in air if they float in water?
It is waters greater density than air that allows some substances to float on water.
What makes certain substances float and others sink?
Substances with a density (mass per unit volume) greaterthan a liquid will sink in the liquid; if the object has a lower density it will float.
Can you use density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Yes, you can use density to predict whether an object will float or sink in water. If the density of an object is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float. If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, it will sink.
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
You can use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink by comparing the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink.
Why do substances dissolve sink or float?
Substances dissolve in a solvent when the attractive forces between the solute and solvent molecules are stronger than the forces holding the solute together. Substances sink or float in a fluid based on their density compared to the density of the fluid. If the substance is less dense than the fluid, it will float, and if it is more dense, it will sink.
How can you use the density of an object to predict weather it will sink or float?
if the density of the object was higher than 1 then it will sink if less than 1 it will float in water....
Which soild substances will float in water?
Wood and styrofoam, to name two.
Can you use volume alone to predict wether an object will sink or float?
No, volume alone cannot predict whether an object will sink or float. The density of the object compared to the density of the surrounding fluid is a determining factor - objects with a density greater than the fluid will sink, while those with a density less than the fluid will float.
