Cooking oil is generally less dense than rubbing alcohol. Most cooking oils have a density of about 0.91 to 0.93 g/cm³, while rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) typically has a density of around 0.79 g/cm³. This means that rubbing alcohol is less dense than cooking oil, allowing the oil to float on top if the two are mixed.

An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water.
