Why is water denser than oil?
Water is denser than oil because strong forces of hydrogen bonding are present in between the water molecules so that are very close to each other and thus water has high density. While on the other hand in oil long chains of hydrogen and carbon are present, oil is non polar so the chains of carbon and hydrogen are far apart and do not attract each other. Thus oil is less denser than water and floats on water. The concept of density can be understood by the thing that one tonne of oil and one tonne of water has equal weight but one tone of oil occupies more space than one tonne of water as water molecules are present very close to one another or in other words water is more dense than oil.
Why can't olive oil and vinegar mix?
No, oil and vinegar do not mix. This is because vinegar contains water making it polar, and oil is made of lipids making it insoluble, so there is no way the molecules can mix without something like an emulsifier.
Which one is thicker water or oil?
Oil is thicker than water
What happens if one drinks baby oil?
You will get sick.
Why cant water and oil become one substance?
Water is a polar compound, whereas oil is not.
How is water more denser then lavender oil?
Water and Lavender oil make two layers when mixed. The upper layer is oil ans lower one is water. This proves that water is denser.
What happens when a less dense fluid interacts with a denser one?
Each and every object on this earth and the universe, has density, which is basically the measure of specific gravity experienced by the object. The denser the fluid, the greater the specific gravity and within a container, it will sink to the bottom and the less dense one will remain above it. You can try this experiment. Take water and oil and food coloring. Put a few drops of the food coloring in the water to give it a distinct color. In a glass, put equal volumes of water and oil, and let it rest. observe. The answer to this question is in this experiment. *P.S. : If you think that oil (in this case sunflower) is denser than water, do the experiment and prepare to be amazed.
What is the density of 1 gram?
It depends on what the one gram is of 1g of lead is denser than 1g of oil (pretty sure because the oil would float on top of water and the lead block would sink)

Does water sink or float?
does water sink or float in what? whether one solution "floats" or "sinks" when added to a 2nd solution depends largely on the relative densities of the two solutions. Generally the denser of the two will "sink", though other factors, such as polarity, come into play in certain situations (eg, mixing oil and alcohol).
What is it easier to float in salt water than fresh water?
Because salt water is denser. If you pour salt water and fresh water [one with food coloring] into a glass, the salt water will sink below the fresh water. You are only a bit denser than salt water.
What happens when salt is mixed into cooking oil?
Emulsification happens. Emulsification is when it forms an emulsion, which means a colloial suspension of one liquid in another liqiud. Oil floats on top of the water if you let it set becuase water is denser than oil if there are many molecules together. If there is just one molecule of water and one molecule of oil, than the oil would be heavier but since the water molecules are packed closer together, it makes it heavier than oil. Note: If you put washing detergent and oil together and let it set, they will seperate but if you stir it, they will mix together, making a solution.
Is oil denser than kerosene?
No it is lighter then water that is why it floats on top.
What one word do these 3 words have in common oil rattle and eyes?
The word that connects them all is "baby," as in baby oil, a baby rattle, and baby eyes.
Why do some object sink in water?
If one cubic centimeter of the object is denser than one cubic centimeter of water, it will sink unless it displaces enough water.
