What else can I help you with?
Does salt water have a lower density than water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
When do you say that a substances has lower density than water?
A substance has lower density than water when it floats on water. This indicates that the substance is less dense than water.
How is water density affected by freezing?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
Why snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
If a substance floats in water, it is less dense than water. This means that its mass per unit volume is lower than that of water. Substances with lower density will float on top of substances with higher density.
When water freezes what causes it to float?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
Why liquids have lower density than solids?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
Why do your pickled eggs float?
The density is lower than the density of water.
What can you infer about the density of a substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
If a block of substance floats in water, it means that the substance is less dense than water. This indicates that the density of the substance is lower than that of water, which has a density of 1 g/cm³.
If an object sinks in water its density is less than that of water?
Yes, that's correct. If an object has a density lower than that of water, it will float. If it sinks, then its density is greater than that of water.
Will an object with a larger density than water will float in water?
No, an object with a larger density than water will sink in water. Objects float when they have a lower density than the liquid they are placed in.
