Why kerosene float on water?

Kerosene is less dense than water, causing it to float on the surface. This is due to the difference in their molecular structures and the way their molecules interact with each other. The lighter kerosene molecules are unable to displace the heavier water molecules, leading to the kerosene floating on top.


Why is it not advisable to pour water on a kerosene caused fire?

Pouring water on a kerosene fire can spread the flames and cause the fire to intensify due to the kerosene's ability to float on top of the water. This can make the situation more dangerous and difficult to control. It is better to use a fire extinguisher or sand to smother the fire.


When can liquid water remain above 100 degrees Celsius?
