Question

if you poured oil and water into a beaker , which liquid would be on top and which would be on the bottom ? How would the densities of the liquids compare with their positions in the beaker ? Explain

Answer 1

oil floats in water due to the fact that it is less dense. since the water is more dense, it is basically heavier, and heavier items always sink, while lighter items float, the same can be said about liquids. denser liquids will sink while less dense items will float.
