Methylene chloride is denser than water, with a density of about 1.33 g/cm^3 compared to water's density of about 1 g/cm^3. This difference in density allows methylene chloride to separate from water in a mixture due to their immiscibility.

Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Is oil less dense then water?
Kerosene and turpentine are less dense than engine oil. So is water and rubbing alcohol and other common liquids.
Is ice as dense as water?
Ice is less dense than water, that's why it floats.
Does lithium sink under water?
No, lithium is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface of water.
Which type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Cold salty water is more dense than warm less salty water. This is because cold water is more dense than warm water in general, and saltier water is also denser than less salty water.
In the extraction of tea with methylene chloride and water will methylene chloride be the upper or lower level?
Just compare the densities of both water and CH2Cl2. Water is less dense and will be in the top (aqueous) layer. CH2Cl2 is more dense and will be on the bottom (organic) layer. Density H2O = 1.00 g/cm3 Density CH2Cl2 = 1.33 g/cm3
What is is less dense then water?
Most commonly available substances that are less dense than water is oil, alcohol and plastic. In fact, a number of organic solvents such as acetone, methanol and methylene chloride are also less dense than water. In addition, a number of different kinds of polymer are "lighter" than water, too.Hmm... potassium and sodium? :DCredit: To the other answer linked below.Read more: What_substances_are_less_dense_than_normal_water
What are some items less dense than water?

Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
What object is less dense than water?
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
No, a rubber duck is less dense than water. It will float on the surface of the water because it is less dense.
How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Can you make oil less dense than water?
Oil IS already less dense than water.
What fruit is less dense than water?
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
Is liquid water less dense then Ice?
Yes, liquid water is less dense than ice. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that spaces them out, causing ice to be less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats on water.
