I'm curious whether ether, a common organic solvent, would float on water. I've heard it's less dense than water, but I'm not sure if that's enough for it to float.

Water, possessing a density of 1.00 gram per milliliter, is denser than ether but lighter than mercury.

When water is introduced into the cylinder, it will settle beneath the ether layer and float above the mercury layer.

The phenomenon of density-based layering is demonstrated through the arrangement of ether, water, and mercury.

Mercury, with a density of 13.6 grams per milliliter, is the heaviest of the three. It will sink to the bottom of the cylinder.
