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.

Materials float best in the liquid with the highest density. Soda with lots of dissolved sugar probably has the highest density.


What sediments float in water?

Light materials such as sand, silt, and clay sediments tend to stay suspended in water and can float for a short period. Organic matter like plant debris and some types of algae can also float in water depending on their density and decomposition level. Oil and grease are other examples of sediments that can form a layer and float on the surface of water.
