Question

Is kerosene lighter than water?

Answer 1

Kerosene floats on water for the same reason all else floats . It weighs lower than water and has buoyancy . ... Because it 's immiscible with water and its density was less than of water : it is lighter !

Answer 2

Kerosine is insoluble and immersible in water it floats on its surface rather then get dissolved. It's weight is lighter than water and has buoyancy, If you take water and put some drops of water then the keroscene oil will be float.
