What is the density of 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil?
Density does not depend on the volume – so the is the same for 1 tablespoon or 1 gallon. Since there is a great deal of variability in vegetable oils, an exact is not possible. However, most would be in the 0.91 – 0.93 g/mL range. This is slightly less than water, which is why vegetable oil floats on top. If you need to determine the exact density – measure out a specific volume and determine the mass using a balance. The mass divided by the volume is the density.
