Will a chunk of ice float higher than an ice cube?
A chunk of ice will float higher in water than an ice cube only if the ice chunk is larger than the ice cube.
What happens when you place an ice cube in a beaker of water does it float or sink?
float dua
What would happen if you mixed water olive oil and an ice cube?
if you were to add water an ice cube an olive oil the water would be on the bottom and the oil would be on top and the ice cube wuld float inside of the olive oil.
How can ice ice cube float?
It depends if the ice cube your talking about have the bigger density than the water which is 1.00G/ML then it will sink .... TO get the density of the cube u have u have to divide the mass over the volume of the cube..
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.
In which liquids will an ice cube float?
in water or anything which is denser than ice
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.
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
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
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.
Why is an ice cube able to float on liquid ice?
it's a solid
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
