No, a piece of platinum will not float on gasoline. Platinum is a dense metal with a high specific gravity, which means it will sink in liquids that are less dense than itself, such as gasoline. Since platinum is significantly denser than gasoline, it will submerge rather than float.

If gasoline is poured carefully into liquid water will it sink or float explain?

Gasoline is less dense than water, so it will float on top of the water rather than sinking. The difference in density between the two liquids causes the gasoline to create a distinct layer on top of the water.


Does platinum float or sink?

This depends what you put it in. If you put platinum in water it will sink. Water has a density of 1 g/mLwhereas platinum has a density of about 21 g/mL. Substances that are more dense than the liquid it is submerged in will sink.
