One common water-insoluble liquid that is heavier than water is Mercury. Mercury has a density of about 13.6 g/cm³, making it significantly denser than water, which has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³. This characteristic allows mercury to be used in various applications, including thermometers and barometers. Other examples include certain oils and organic solvents, such as dichloromethane, which can also be heavier than water.

What liquid is less viscous yet heavier than water?

Mercury is a liquid that is less viscous but heavier than water. Mercury is a dense liquid metal at room temperature, making it heavier than water, which is less viscous than water due to its lower viscosity.


What liquid is heavier than syrup?

One example of a liquid heavier than syrup is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is over 13 times heavier than water and significantly heavier than syrup due to its high density.


What is hevier ice or water?

If you freeze a sample of liquid water it should expand but still weigh the same amount. Water is denser than ice so by volume liquid water is heavier than water ice, thus ice floats.


Does a marker float and why?

No, cause' it's heavier than water or any other liquid


How could you tell if a liquid has a higher or lower density than water?

If a liquid does not mix with water and you pour a little water on the liquid, then if the water sinks, the water has a higher density than the liquid; otherwise, the liquid has a higher density. If a drop of the water dissolves in the liquid, then you weigh an equal volume of both liquids. The heavier one has the higher density.


Is liquid oxygen heavier than water?

A thing's heaviness is a measure of gravity's effect on its mass. Molecule for molecule, H2O (water) is heavier than O2 (oxygen); however, you are comparing two different molecules at two different pressures and densities. Oxygen, while lighter than water (molecule for molecule) at normal pressures, is much heavier when compressed to the point of condensation. Liquid oxygen has a weight of 1.141 g/ml, whereas water's weight is 1 g/ml. They are very close to the same weight, but liquid oxygen is almost 15% heavier.
