Best Answer

The density of water is greater than the density of ethanol. This is partly a result of how tightly packed the molecules of the substance are.

Does a liter of water weigh the same as 1 liter of oil?

No. Oil is less dense than water, so 1 liter of oil will weigh less than 1 liter of water.


Which takes up greater volume 1000 g of water or 1000 g of ethanol?

The 1000 grammes of ethanol will occupy a greater volume because its specific gravity is lower than that of water. s.g. water = ~1.0 s.g. ethanol = ~ 0.794


How many pounds is 5 gallons?

Five gallons of paint is heavier than five gallons of water, which is heavier than five gallons of oil, so please be more specific.


How heavy is 1 liter?

A liter is a unit of volume not weight, therefore to determine how much a liter weighs it depends on what you're measuring. A liter of water has a different weight than a liter of sand and so on.


How does the mass of a dinosaur compare to the mass of 1 liter of water?

It is easiest to observe the volumes of the two and go from there. One liter of water is most easily observed by most students as exactly half of a two liter of soda. Water and soda have a similar density (mass divided by volume) so they will have a similar mass. Then compare the volume of 1 liter to the volume of a dinosaur. I believe even most baby dinosaurs were larger than a liter. Take into account that most land animals alive will have a density not too far from water (some people float and some sink). The animals that have a density that differs greatly from water will more often than not have a higher density than water and sink. So, because a dinosaur is SIGNIFICANTLY more voluminous than a liter, and we can speculate that they were at least the density of water if not more, its very safe to say that dinosaurs had many times the mass of 1 liter of water.

What is heavier 1 liter of air or 1 liter of water?

Water because a liter is a measurement of space and not mass. Water occupying 1 liter of space is lots heavier than air occupying 1 liter of space. <><><><><> It depends on density. It is possible, given enough pressure, to have one liter of air weigh more than one liter of water.


Is water heavier than petrol?

Yes, water is denser and heavier than petrol. One liter of water weighs about 1 kilogram, while one liter of petrol weighs approximately 0.75 kilograms.


How many times lighter or heavier than a liter is a centiliter?

It is inappropriate to be talking about "lighter" or heavier" with regard to liters and centiliters (or milliliters or deciliters, etc.) Why? Because the liter (and its fractional parts) is a unit of volume or capacity, not weight. You may say that a liter is 100 times greater in volume than a centiliter. You could say that a liter is ten times greater in volume than a deciliter. You could also say that a deciliter is ten times greater in volume than a centiliter. But one is not necessarily heavier or lighter than another. Unless, of course, you have a liter and centiliter of the same substance! A liter of water, for example, will be 100 times heavier than a centiliter of water -- as long as both are at identical temperatures. (Water at 4 degrees Celsius is denser than water at higher and lower temperatures, so a liter of water at 4 degrees C will weigh more than 100 times a centiliter of water at higher or lower temps.)


What is the api gravity for ethanol?

The API gravity of ethanol is approximately 20.7 degrees at 60°F (15.6°C). This measurement indicates the density of ethanol compared to water, with values below 10 indicating a substance that is heavier than water and values above 10 indicating a substance that is lighter.


How could you tell chloroform from ethanol?

Chloroform has a distinct smell, while ethanol is typically odorless or has a mild, pleasant odor. Chloroform is heavier than water and not miscible with it, while ethanol mixes readily with water. Additionally, chloroform is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature, while ethanol is also a clear liquid but may be slightly yellowish.


Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?

Ethanol expands more than water when heated because it has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion. This means that ethanol will increase in volume more than water when heated to the same temperature.


Is molasses heavier than water?

Yes molasses is heavier than water


Is sand heavier than water?

yes sand is heavier than water:)


Why is water a better conductor than ethanol?

Water is a better conductor than ethanol because it contains ions that can move freely and carry electrical charges, while ethanol does not dissociate into ions as readily. This means that water can facilitate the flow of electricity more easily than ethanol.


Why do you get 2.5kg from 1 liter of gasoline?

Not all liquids are 1L=1Kg. Only water is. gas is denser than water, therefore heavier per L.


Which fluid will float 5 kg of ethanol or 1kg of water?

1 kg of water will float in ethanol because ethanol is less dense than water.


Is water or salt water heavier?

Salt water is heavier than fresh water. The salt dissolved in salt water increases its density, making it heavier than pure water.
