Lighter distillates than motor oil typically include substances like gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel. These fuels are derived from crude oil but have lower boiling points and are more volatile than motor oil. They are used in various applications, from powering vehicles to heating and industrial processes. Additionally, lighter distillates have different chemical properties and combustion characteristics compared to heavier oils like motor oil.
What else can I help you with?
Is gasoline lighter than motor oil?
Yes, gasoline is generally lighter than motor oil. Gasoline has a lower density, typically around 0.71 to 0.77 grams per milliliter, while motor oil usually has a density ranging from about 0.85 to 0.9 grams per milliliter. This difference in density means that gasoline will float on top of motor oil if the two are mixed.
Is motor oil heavier than gasoline?
Yes, motor oil is generally heavier than gasoline. Motor oil has a higher viscosity and density compared to gasoline, which allows it to provide better lubrication for engine components. While gasoline is designed to be lighter and more volatile for combustion, motor oil is formulated to withstand high temperatures and pressures within an engine.
Which is heavier gasoline or motor oil?
if the two were in a container, the oil would raise to the top. if that helps any
Is oil heavier than water?
The short answer is, it depends on which oil you're talking about. There are many different things that are considered "oils". For the most part, an oil is: hydrophobic (is repelled by water / doesn't mix with water), a liquid at 25°C, and is soluble in (mixes with) organic solvents. How 'heavy' something is is determined by density. One way to describe the density of a liquid is by giving its 'specific gravity', which means how heavy is it compared to water. The specific gravity of water is 1, so any oil with a specific gravity greater than 1 will sink in water, while any oil with a specific gravity lower than 1 will float on water. Most things that people are likely to encounter that they call 'oil', such as motor or vegetable oil, are lighter than water, but there certainly are oils that are heavier than water.
What is a solution in which water is not the solvent?
Diethyl Ether, Naphtha, Xylene, Toluene, Petroleum Distillates, etc.
Is gasoline lighter than motor oil?
Yes, gasoline is generally lighter than motor oil. Gasoline has a lower density, typically around 0.71 to 0.77 grams per milliliter, while motor oil usually has a density ranging from about 0.85 to 0.9 grams per milliliter. This difference in density means that gasoline will float on top of motor oil if the two are mixed.
Why is olive oil motor oil and vegetable oil lighter than water?
Due to the chemical composition of each of these oils (and oils in general), they are generally less dense than water
Is oil lighter or glycerin?
oil is lighter than glycerin.
Which is lighter- vegetable oil or white vinegar?
Vegetable oil is lighter than pure water, which in turn is (somewhat) lighter than white vinegar.
What is heavier diesel or motor oil?
Diesel fuel is generally lighter than motor oil. Diesel typically has a density of around 0.85 to 0.87 grams per cubic centimeter, while motor oil can range from 0.85 to 0.95 grams per cubic centimeter, depending on its formulation and viscosity. Therefore, while there can be some overlap, motor oil is often heavier than diesel.
Is oil heavier than antifreeze?
No, oil is lighter than antifreeze.
Why does ammonia dissolve motor oil better than vegetable oil?
Ammonia dissolves better in motor oil than in vegetable oil because motor oil is more immiscible than vegetable oil. Also, motor oil molecules are more non-polar than vegetable oil.
What is the weight of oil?
weight of oil is lighter than water
Why is water lighter than oil?
Oil is lighter than water due to it's lower specific gravity, specific gravity being the "density" of a fluid relative to water.
Is water lighter than vegetable oil?
No water is heavier then oil.
Is motor oil toxic to human body?
Motor oil is toxic. New motor oil has fresher, lighter hydrocarbons that can have short-term effects on some organisms, while used motor oil is more dangerous because its toxicity can contribute to chronic environmental hazards such as carcinogenicity.
Why do you crack?
You don't crack Petroleum. Petroleum is one of the distillates of cracking crude oil.
