Why does vetcable oil float on water?

Vegetable oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Since the mass of vegetable oil is less than the same volume of water, it displaces less water and floats on top.


Is mass of one cup of oil equals to mass of one cup of water?

Since oil will float on top of water, we can assume that the weight (or mass) of water is greater than that of oil.


What has the greater mass oil or water?

i think you mean 'why does water have a greater density than oil?' Water is a polar substance because of hydrogen bonding that occurs between each H20 molecule. So imagine that these bonds pull the molecules closer together. So in the same volume you can get more molecules of water than you can of oil. This is because oil is non polar so therefore has no bonding between its molecules.


Is oil more dense than water?

no, oil is not more dense than water


Why is coconut oil less dense than water though it is thicker than water?

Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.

Why does a mass of water heat up more easily than the same mass of oil?

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than oil, which means it requires more energy to increase its temperature compared to oil. This is because water has strong hydrogen bonding between its molecules which allows it to absorb and retain heat more effectively. Oil, on the other hand, has weaker intermolecular forces and a lower specific heat capacity, making it heat up more quickly.
