Understanding Density

* Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. A substance with a higher density is "denser" and will sink in a substance with a lower density.

* Water has a density of approximately 1 g/mL.

* Oil typically has a density less than 1 g/mL (around 0.8-0.9 g/mL).

Behavior of the Substance:

* In Water: Since the substance has a density of 0.95 g/mL, which is slightly less than water's density, it would float on the surface of water.

* In Oil: Because the substance has a density greater than the density of most oils (0.8-0.9 g/mL), it would sink in the oil.

In Summary:

The substance would float in water and sink in oil due to its density being in between the densities of these two liquids.
