What are the results of can water float on water?
Yes, water can float on water. This is because of surface tension, which allows objects with a lower density than water to float on its surface. Items like boats or water bugs can float because of this phenomenon.
Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
Does a balloon float or sink on water and why?
A balloon filled with air will float on water because it is less dense than water. The buoyant force acting on the balloon allows it to float.
Does an egg float in salted water?
Yes, an egg will float in salted water because the increased density of the water due to the salt makes it easier for objects with lower density, like an egg, to float.
Does muscovite float on water?
No, muscovite does not float on water because it is denser than water.
Which is denser turpentine or water?
Water is more dense than turpentine, by about 10%.
Would gasoline turpentine or mercury settle to the bottom when mixed with water?
Gasoline and turpentine are less dense than water and would float on the surface, while mercury is denser than water and would sink to the bottom when mixed with water.
Would turpentine settle to the bottom when mixed with water?
No. Turpentine does not sink in water. Like many oil based organic solvents, turpentine floats in pure water. Engineers and scientists use a measurement called Specific Gravity to measure how dense a liquid is in comparison to that of water. Pure turpentine has a Specific Gravity of 0.85(@25 deg Celsius). On the other hand, water has a specific gravity of 1.0. That means that turpentine at will eventually float to the top of a water bath.
Would gasoline turpentine or mercury settle at the bottom of water?
Of the three, only mercury (a liquid metal) is heavier than water and would sink to the bottom. Gasoline is partly miscible (forms suspensions in water), while turpentine has a lower density than water and would float on top.
Which liquid settle at the bottom gasoline turpentine and mercury?
Mercury is the liquid that will settle at the bottom, as it is denser than both gasoline and turpentine. Gasoline and turpentine are less dense and will float on top of the mercury.
Is turpentine thicker or thinner that water?
Turpentine is a hydrocarbon that is less dense than water, therefore given equivalent volumes it would be lighter.
Does turpentine expand?
Yes, turpentine does expand. In fact, it expands more than oil, water and benzene!
What is the pH of turpentine?
Turpentine is a non-polar organic solvent and does not contain any acidic or basic components that would affect its pH. Therefore, turpentine does not have a pH value as it does not dissociate in water to release hydrogen ions. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, and since turpentine is not a solution in water, it does not have a pH.
Why would a solvent like turpentine be better for removing grease and grime than water?
Turpentine is better for removing grease and grime than water because it is a solvent that can dissolve oil-based substances, which water cannot do effectively. Turpentine also evaporates quickly, leaving behind a clean surface.
How would you separate a mixture of water and turpentine?
get yourself a seperating funnel, pour the mixture into the funnel and wait for the mixture to seperate. You should see two distinct layers that seperated, where water will be "floating" on top of turpentine. You know what to do next.
Is iodine dissolve in turpentine?
No, iodine is not soluble in turpentine. Turpentine is a non-polar solvent, while iodine is a polar substance. To dissolve iodine, a polar solvent like alcohol or water is needed.
Can turpentine kill bugs?
3 parts water 1 part turpentine. do not breath. spray in pm right before dew sets..
