Water

Vegetable oil. Although the common misconception is that water is heavier. The fact that oil floats in water only indicates that oil is less dense, and density should not be confused with weight.

Water is probably heavier by volume. As in a 1 cubic cm of water will weigh more than 1 cubic cm of veg. oil. That's the reason why it floats.

Water. Try it yourself. Put vegetable oil into a glass of water. You'll see that vegetable oil will be at the top.

Water - pour both together in a glass - you will see that the veggie oil swims on top. Both don't mix and the heavier liquid will be on the bottom - water.

Water. If you put vegetable oil with water it goes to the top.

I assuming you are referring to specific gravity. Water = 1.00, S.G. of vegetable oil = 0.91 to 0.95.
Which is heavier = water.

Water of course... all oil floats to the top when you mix them together... that includes crude oil.

Heavy refers to weight, however oil is less dense than water, so it floats on water.
