What would happen if a substance with a density of 0.95gml was placed in oil?

That would depend upon the density of the oil (which will depend upon temperature), how absorbant of oil the substance was and how deep the oil is.
Assuming the substance does not absorb any of the oil then depending upon the oil various things would happen:
In some oils such as Car oils, Coconut oil, Crude oil California, Linseed oil which all have a density less than 0.95 g/ml the substance would sink (unless the oil was not deep enough in which case the substance would sit on the bottom of the container and appear above the surface of the oil).
In other oils such as Castor oil, Crude oil Mexican, Rosin oil which all have a density greater than 0.95g/ml the substance would float.

If object has mass of 3.5gml is placed in water what will happen?
I think you mean to say density. If I'm right, it'll sink.
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
What would happen if you placed a peeled apple in a 5 percent salt solution?
It would get salty! duhhh
What part of the block of wood remains immersed in water of density 1000kg per cm cube when the block of wood placed in water has density 700 Kg per m cube?
-- The aggregate density of the wood block is 700/1000 = 0.7 the density of water. -- So, as soon as the wood has displaced 0.7 of its volume in water, it has displaced its entire weight in water, and floats. -- The wood floats with 0.7 of its volume below the surface and 0.3 of its volume above it.
How did Archimedes solve the King's problem?
He discovered the difference in density between gold and silver when placed under water, and noticed that the crown was not pure gold. The crowns maker was later beheaded.
What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
What happen to volume of substance when placed say in a freezer?
A number of factors have to be considered, the state of the substance, solid, gas or liquid. The condensation and freezing point of the substance. The temperature inside the freezer. The pressure Most, but not all, substances reduce in volume and increase in density when cooled. Water for instance, reduces in density when frozen.

What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
What will happen if you place a flammable substance near a Bunsen burner?
If placed close enough, the flammable substance will burst into flames.
What will happen if an object that is the same density of water is placed in it?
Most likely, the object will be suspended, that is, stay in the middle of the water.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
How does buoyancy and density relate to the world?
Any substance that does not dissolve when placed in water will displace a certain volume. The volume of water that is displaced has a certain weight and the equivalent of that weight of water creates a buoyant force on the object. If the density of the object is less than the density of water then the buoyant force will be enough to make the substance float.
How do you arrange substances in increasing order if you know their density and which substance sinks or floats in various liquids?
Those with more density are placed last. Those with more density sink. Think, light things float because they are less dense than the water.
What would happen in Saturn if it were placed in water?
It should float because it has a lower density than water. Of course that's not a very practical idea in reality.
What will happen to an object placed in a tub of water if it has a density greater than 1.0 g?
It is likely to sink. However, it may float if it is shaped like a boat.
