Assuming you mean the usual sort of "oil", there is nothing that is both less dense than oil and more dense than water.
You have effectively asked the buoyancy equivalent of "what number is bigger than 3 but smaller than 2".
Oil is less dense than water so nothing can float in oil but sink in water. If it floats in oil it would have to be less dense than oil so therefore, it will float in water.
What else can I help you with?
Will acid float on oil?
That depends what acid, and what oil, you are talking about. Basically the less dense substance will float on the denser substance.
How do you make water flote?
You can make water float by adding a substance that is less dense than water, like oil, to create a layer on top of the water. The oil's density is lower than that of water, causing it to float. This can be demonstrated with an oil spill on water.
Is oil in water soluble or insoluble?
Oil is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. This means that oil molecules do not mix or dissolve in water, leading to the separation of the two substances.
Can oil float on juice?
Yes. Oil having lesser density than juice, will float on it.
When should an object float into a liqud?
An object will float when it has less density than the fluid or substance that it is placed in. The object floats upward due to buoyant forces. Similarly, objects will sink if they are dense than the fluid.
Will acid float on oil?
That depends what acid, and what oil, you are talking about. Basically the less dense substance will float on the denser substance.
Will a human float in oil?
A human may float in an oily substance. It is more likely that the human will get trapped under the oil and not float.
How would a substance with a density of 0.95 gmL behave when placed in both oil and water?
When two substances do not mix with each other, the less dense substance will float on the more dense substance. Vegetable oil floats on water. If the mystery substance with d = 0.95 g/mL does not mix with water, then it should float on top of water. If the mystery substance with d = 0.95 g/mL does not mix with vegetable oil, then it should sink in vegetable oil.
What substance has a specific gravity less that water?
One substance with a specific gravity less than water is oil. This is why oil tends to float on top of water.
Can any kind of metal float?
Yes, provided you have the metal in a solid form which can be shaped so it will float, and a substance which it is liquid enough to float in at that temperature.
How do you make water flote?
You can make water float by adding a substance that is less dense than water, like oil, to create a layer on top of the water. The oil's density is lower than that of water, causing it to float. This can be demonstrated with an oil spill on water.
Is oil in water soluble or insoluble?
Oil is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. This means that oil molecules do not mix or dissolve in water, leading to the separation of the two substances.
What happens when oil drop falls in milk?
it will float to the top, but the milk wont be safe to drink anymore depending on what kind of oil it was
Does iron float in oil?
Iron will float in oil in most cases. However, for iron to float in oil, it must have a density which is lower than the oil.
Do Bones float in Oil?
Yes, bones tend to float in oil because the density of oil is lower than that of bones. This causes bones to be less dense than oil, allowing them to float on the surface of the oil.
Why does an object float in water?
molecules make an object float the airs density has gases that react to substance and then change phase an element has only 1 kind of atom and that atom gets
Do oil sink or float in water?
Float.
