How Can A Liquid Float On Another Liquid?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    This questions easy. It depends on the density of the liquid. Density is the measurement of how much mass is contained in a given volume and is found by dividing mass by volume. If you watch a bottle of oil-vinegar salad dressing, you notice there is two different layers. This is because oil is less dense (can also be thought as lighter in weight) than vinegar. Water was a density of 1.0g/cm cubed. Any liquid or solid with a density lower than that will float on water. If a liquid has density higher than 1.0g/cm cubed it will sink or go under the water.
