Question

The larva of mosquito dies on spraying oil or kerosene on the surface of water, why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kerosene is less dense than water

Explanation:

Kerosine is less dense than water and has much lower surface tension. The mosquito larva pushes it's tail up into the air, then sinks down through the kerosene layer. That means it cannot breathe. This causes them to drown by preventing them from being able to stand on the water
