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 is meant by relative density of a substance?
The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of density of any substance to the density of water at 4 degree celcius.Formula=Density of any substance/Density of water at 4 degree celcius.
How does buoyancy and density relate to the world?
Any substance that does not dissolve when placed in water will displace a certain volume. The volume of water that is displaced has a certain weight and the equivalent of that weight of water creates a buoyant force on the object. If the density of the object is less than the density of water then the buoyant force will be enough to make the substance float.
What can you infer about the density of substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
because the density is lower than water.
What can you infer about the density of a substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
because the density is lower than water.
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
You can infer very little about the density of the substance. Ships made of steel, with a density much greater than that of water, can float.
What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?
The object will dissolve in the container of water.

What the formula for relative density?
The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of some standard substance. The standard substance for solids and liquids is water. Thus for solids or liquids: Relative density = denisty of substance (kg/m3) / density of water (kg/m3) Relative density therefore has no units, it is a number, and indicates only how many times more dense the substance is than water. The relative density of water is 1 or 1000 kg/m3.
The density of water is equal to 1.0 gcm3. A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 would in water.?
A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 it's sinking in water.
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
You can infer very little about the density of the substance. Ships made of steel, with a density much greater than that of water, can float.
What is the difference density and relative density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
What is the difference of relative density and density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
What is the relationship between the density of a substance and its specific gravity?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to (divided by) the density of a reference substance, usually water.
Specific gravity is a ratio of the density of a substance to the density of?
Hydrogen monoxide.
