It will float in water
Crude oil is hydrophobic, which means it repels water and is not soluble in it. This is due to the nonpolar nature of the hydrocarbon molecules in crude oil, which do not interact well with the polar molecules in water. As a result, crude oil will not dissolve in water but will float on its surface.
It rises in water Source(s) - i did that for my science project in 5th grade ADDED: It does indeed, ending up floating on the water's surface because oil is less dense than water.
Yes It Is! because of its chlorine content.
Yes, the type of liquid affects whether a marble will sink or float. Objects with a density greater than that of the liquid will sink, while objects with a lower density will float. For example, a marble made of glass (denser than water) will sink in water but float in a lighter liquid like oil.
This depends on the type of liquid and type of object. A different density of either will affect the buoyancy of an object. For example, wood is less dense than water, so it floats on top. However, if there is a liquid less dense than wood, then the wood will sink in it.
because of the salt in the water
Float.
Oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Due to its molecular structure, oil molecules do not form strong hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which causes them to be less dense and float on top of water.
At firs it floats, in time it gets emulsified with the water and creates a mixture this in turn can sink to the bottom Either way it can do a lot of damage to the environment.
No, water will sink in oil because oil is less dense than water. This causes the water to be heavier and sink below the oil.
No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
Specific gravity of crude oil is how light or heavy it is compared to water. If the API gravity is less than 10 it will float in water.
Yes, because the oil is less dense than the sea water.
No. Oil will float on vinegar as vinegar has the same density as water.

It depends on the density of the materials and the type of oil. In general, materials that are less dense than oil will float on oil, while materials that are more dense than oil will sink. Oil has a lower density than water, so materials that float on water may or may not float on oil.
