An ice cube floats in top water if it is put in the sea water will it float or lower in the water?

The ice cube will float higher in sea water than it will in pure water (more of it will be above the water level). This is because the salt in sea water makes it more dense than pure water, meaning that less water must be displaced to account for the mass of the ice.

Why sugar cube floats on oil?
a solution of water and sugar has a greater density than plain water. Because the solution is more dense than plain water, objects of lower density than the solution will float
How can an ice cube float in a glass of water?
ice cube floats in water because it is dense and heavy if u compare water to alcohol then an ice cube will sink in the alcohol because alcohol is less dense which means its light.
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Will a 1.3 cube float?
Whether or not it floats will depend on the material , not the size.
Why water is the only substance when freeze float on the surface of water?
Because the volume of frozen water (Ice) is more than in the liquid form. therefore an ice cube replaces more water hence it floats on the surface of water.
Why does water float in water?
Ice floats because ice is less dense (lighter) that water, especially the denser oceanic waters. Though ice floats, most of the ice cube, ice berg, etc, remains beneath the surface with only a portion showing above the surface.
Which liquids will an ice cube floats?
ice cubes floats in the water, because it is in the liquid form
When a ice cube floats i water they are less what?
Less dense
Why ice cube floats on water?
Ice is less dense than water.
Can an ice cube float on water?
yes!
Why dosent an ice cube float in air?
An ice cube is the frozen form of water, therefore being a solid, and since it is a solid, the force of gravity applies to it. So, like most other solids, it simply just drops down onto the ground. For anything to float it must have density lower than the medium in which it sits. The density of ice is greater than that of air, though it is lower than that of water. Hence ice does not float in air bur does float in water.
What happens when you place an ice cube in a beaker of water does it float or sink?
float dua
