Answer
Mutahir,

I'm really offering my services to those individuals looking for advice about careers in the field of chemistry and not to answer homework "type" questions.

That being said, this will be the last question of this type I'll be answering.   I'm not sure what you mean by "ass oils" but if an oil is denser than water it will sink (unless it's in the hull of a boat).
