Yes.
EDIT: Density is not the sole factor. While denser liquids proportionally outweigh less dense liquids thus earning themselves a lower position when in contact with with liquids of less density, chemical properties also come into play. Lets say we have a container of water, (1.0 g/L), and we add pure lemon juice, (approx 1.1 g/L). Instead of forming distinct layers, the lemon juice is diluted by the water. The molecules combine to form into a chemically inseparable solution due to solubility.
Vegetable oil .91-.93 g/cm3 - Water 1.0 g/. Mix the two and the vegetable oil will float on top of the water, therefore, the LESS dense liquid will float on top, while the MORE dense liquid will sink to the bottom. Info taken from : What_is_the_density_of_1_tablespoon_of_vegetable_oil
What else can I help you with?
Will a block float in water?
It depends on the density of the block. If the block is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
What is the property of that makes something sink or float?
More or less density of the material compared to the density of the water.
Does more dense mean sink or float?
Typically, denser objects sink while less dense objects float. This is because denser objects have more mass per unit volume, causing them to displace less water than less dense objects, resulting in sinking.
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
You can use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink by comparing the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink.
How can you predict if something will sink or float?
An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
How can you determine if something is more or less dense than a given liquid?
Put the "something" into the liquid, and see if it will float.
Why is it that you float on water?
Because water is more dense then our bodies so when things are more dense they sink to the bottom and when they are less dense they float to the top
How does liquid affect the height of which some objects float or sink?
Floating and sinking is related to density - if something is more dense (i.e. has more mass per volume) than the fluid it will sink, and if it is less dense then it will float. This is why wood floats in water, and helium balloons float in air - helium is less dense than air and wood is less dense than water. Steel ships float because, although they are made of steel which is more dense than water, the air inside them is less dense than water so the overall effect is floating.
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called what?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
When something go up when its less dense?
When an object is less dense than the fluid it is immersed in, it will experience a buoyant force pushing it up. This is due to the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object, causing it to float or rise. It is the principle behind why less dense objects float in more dense fluids, like a boat on water.
Will a block float in water?
It depends on the density of the block. If the block is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
How does density affect an object to float?
Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense or less dense?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
What is the property of that makes something sink or float?
More or less density of the material compared to the density of the water.
