Ice made with heavy-water will sink in normal water.
Heavy water is water made with Deuterium, a special type (isotope) of Hydrogen which has a nucleus containing 1 proton and 1 neutron (instead of just a single proton).
I think that drinking heavy water is bad (in excess of a certain amount) for you since it takes your body more energy to process it than it does normal water (differences in density, heat capacity, and what-not), so this really isn't much of a solution.
If by ice, you mean frozen water, then it actually will not sink in water. H2O is one of the few compounds on earth that expands when it freezes. This expansion causes ice to be less dense than water and causes it to float on the surface.
An unusual property of ice frozen at a pressure of one atmosphere is that the solid is some 8% less dense than liquid water. Water is the only known non-metallic substance to expand when it freezes. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/cm³ at 0 °C, whereas water has a density of 0.9998 g/cm³ at the same temperature. Liquid water is most dense, essentially 1.00 g/cm³, at 4 °C and becomes less dense as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the temperature drops to 0 °C. (In fact, the word "crystal" derives from Greek word for frost.) This is due to hydrogen bonds forming between the water molecules, which line up molecules less efficiently (in terms of volume) when water is frozen. The result of this is that ice floats on liquid water, an important factor in Earth's climate. Density of ice increases slightly with decreasing temperature (density of ice at −180 °C (93 K) is 0.9340 g/cm³).
dumb hdjjhjakjhjhj but
Not really. Ice is less dense than water so it'll float
The specific gravity of ice is 0.9168 compared with water which is 0.9998,therefore ice floats - as do icebergs
so that the fish swimming in the lakes dont die over winter
because its less denser than water
Ice does not sink in water.
I’ve is less dense than liquid water.
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
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
Yes. Hail is ice. Ice floats in water.
Hail is just ice, so it will float in water.
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
Ice is less dense than water and will float on 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
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
Water,thats why ice float on water.
Because of the buoyancy of the Ice
Yes. Hail is ice. Ice floats in water.
The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.
Under normal circumstances, ice does float in water because it is less dense.
Hail is just ice, so it will float in water.
