Question

Can wood float on kerosene and oil?

Answer 1

• Substances that have densities lower than oil and water can float.

• Wood generally has a density which is higher than oil but less than water.
• Therefore, wood will not float on kerosene or oil since it has a higher density than both of them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, it can.

This is because the density of kerosene and oil is much greater than the density of water.
