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.


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.)


One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice?

One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice. This is because water expands when it is frozen, thus the liquid water will have more water compared to the ice.


Why is water a better conductor than ethanol?

water contains iron and ethanol doesnt. this is why Water has ions, ( not iron), in a higher concentration than ethanol.


Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?

Water expands more than ethanol because the boiling point og water is more than that of ethanol.


Is wind erosion more powerful than water erosion?

not at all. water is by far more dense therefore liter per liter, its way heavier. erosion happpens when partices are rubbed off an object, changing its shape. because water is much heavier than air. frictional force due to the mass of water will do much more erosion to an object


Is molasses heavier than water?

Yes molasses is heavier than water


Is sand heavier than water?

yes sand is heavier than water:)


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.


Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?

the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.


Why is A liter of vinegar is heavier in winter than in summer?

Cold causes the vinegar to become denser, as the water contracts. A liter is a volume measurement & denser liquids fit more into a liter. More in it equals more weight.


How will knowing that ice is heavier than water help you in your life?
