No. Ice cubes will sink in pure alcohol, and will float lower in low-proof Alcoholic Beverages. This is because alcohol is less dense than ice.
Because ice cubes are less dense than water.
Because some ice cubes are cooler than others. The ones that just have that awesomeness, sink.
If the density of the object is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Think about the differences between ice cubes and water: ice cubes are less dense than water. In other words, a cup full of ice would be lighter than a cup full of water, and you probably know from experience that ice floats on water.
yes it doesAnswer:It depends on the alcohol and the percent of alcohol in the solution in which the ice is placed. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/cm³ at 0°C. As ethyl alcohol is the one most people think of, lets use it as an example. Ethyl alcohol (pure) has a density of 0.789 g/cm3 so ice would sink rather quickly. It is not until room temperature (20oC) alcohol/water solutions approach 50% that the densities of the solution would be high enough for the ice to float.
Ice is less dense than water at the freezing temperature. That's why ice cubes and bergs float in water.
Because ice is denser than the oil and alcohol.
Ice cubes are less dense than water.
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
Because ice cubes are less dense than water.
Ice does float, but if you put in multiple ice cubes, the ice cubes underneath can't push up over and on top, so it looks like they're floating in the middle of the glass.
Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.
Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.
No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.
Because some ice cubes are cooler than others. The ones that just have that awesomeness, sink.
There is nothing special about alcohol -- anything that is in contact with ice that is warmer than 0 °C will melt ice cubes (as long as the mass of warm object is comparable to the mass of the ice -- obviously a cup of warm water won't melt the ice on an entire lake for instance).When two objects of different temperatures are put in contact (as when you put ice cubes in a drink), the warmer one will always transfer heat to the cooler one. If the warmer one transfers enough heat to melt the ice cubes, then they melt! If not, they might just partially melt.It's actually possible to add ice cubes to alcohol and not have them melt at all! The freezing point of alcohol is well below 0 °C, and so you can have liquid alcohol be much colder than frozen ice cubes. If you add an ice cube to alcohol that is colder than the ice cube, the ice cube will be cooled by the alcohol!
Yes.
