A liquid will actually float when it is hotter than the liquid around it. It is because the density of a hot liquid is less than a cold liquid due to the more rapid movement and greater spread of particles.

However a liquid will sink in another liquid if it has a greater density then the liquid it has been poured into. A simple way to see this is to fill a jug half with water, then pour some cooking oil in to it, the oil will sink and displace the water to the top, you can then pour the water of, and wash the patio or something with it, and you will still beable to use the oil, as long as you don't heat the oil while the water is still in the jug. Oil and water don't mix. Oil has more density then water meaning that oil is simply heavier then water and that's why it sinks.
PS im not actually shure if im on about density or mass here but im pretty shure its density

∙ 14y agoIt's possible that in some circumstances it might. The density of all materials, including the liquids is dependent on temperature. It is important to know the densities of the liquid and the solid at the given temperature.

Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?

What if you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?

How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
Dependent variable on a float or sink experiment?
In a float and sink experiment, the density of the liquid is considered a dependent variable. When the density is low, the solid may sink more easily.
If a ball is dropped into a very viscous liquid it will?
A solid metal ball would sink into the very viscous liquid, a hollow metal ball would float. The speed of descent is dependent on the density of the liquid.
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Why do you sink in water?
the water sink is not solid and liquid
Does ice float or sink?
ice cubes, iceburgs. do they float or sink and that might answer your question

Does a floating object sink morein liquid of low density than a liquid of a high density?
Hi guys
What is denser liquid silver or solid silver?
Solid silver has a greater density than liquid silver which means that solid silver would sink.
How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
Will a liquid sink when its hotter than the liquid around it?
No, usually it will rise, since the density of most liquids will decrease as it is heated up.
What do you notice about the density of floating objects?
Usually the density of floating object will be less than that of the liquid in which it is floating. But exception is that ship made up of iron will float in less dense water. Becasue a large amount of water will be displaced due to the specific construction of the ship. The weight of the displaced water will be more than the floating ship.
Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?
Certainly. Think about something solid such as a stone, will that sink or float in a liquid like water it will sink so it is more dense
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
