Oil is thicker than water because oil has larger molecules that are more tightly packed together compared to water. This makes oil more viscous and resistant to flow compared to water.

How do you explain that dry ice sublimate faster in heated vegetable oil than in heated water?

The oil is thicker. The thicker oil holds its temperature longer. It resists change. The water, being thinner, changes temperature faster. Therefore, the dry-ice is in a hotter environment longer, which allows the reaction at a higher rate than the water after is has cooled a degree or more.


Why is coconut oil less dense than water though it is thicker than water?

Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.
