Why kerosene float on water?
Kerosene is less dense than water.
A piece of ice is dropped in a beaker containing kerosene when ice melts level of kerosene will?
As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
What are the reason why some things float in the water?
Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
Why does kerosene floats on water?
Kerosene floats on water for the same reason everything else floats. It weighs less than water and has buoyancy. If you put a drop of kerosene on water you will notice it forms a bubble, like a drop fill with air that is lighter than water. It is also an oil based product. Oil and water do not mix therefore the kerosene cannot mix with the water and therefore stays separate from the water. Oil slicks work this way too and kills anything near the surface of the water. In Pearl Harbor the USS Arizona has been leaking oil since it sank. Daily, oil blobs or drops rise to the surface and float on the water. So if you put kerosene on the bottom of a jar of water it will rise and float because it is less dense and lighter than water and will not mix with the water to weigh it back down to the bottom of the jar.Because it's immiscible with water and its density is lower than of water: it is lighter!
Why do things float better in salted water?
Salt water is more denser than any kind of water, because of its salt content,it increases the bouyancy (the property of a fluid to exert an upward thrust of the body emerged into it) of the water.So, things float more better in salt water.
Does kerosene float on water-?
no, beacuse there is more sugars patick present in it so it floats
Why kerosene float on water?
Kerosene is less dense than water.
Why does an object float in water sinks in kerosene oil?
No. The ice does not float on oil or kerosene, it is because a kerosene is a non-polar solute whil the ice which came from H2o is a polar solute in which it contradicts with each other. When the ice melts, the ice become water, the water is denser than kerosene, so the kerosene floats for it has a lighter density while the water sinks for it has a denser density.
Why do things float and some things sink?
Things that float in a fluid are less dense than the fluid. Things that sink in a fluid are more dense than the fluid.
A piece of ice is dropped in a beaker containing kerosene when ice melts level of kerosene will?
As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
Why does salt in water make objects float?
Things float in water if they are less dense than the water they are floating in. Putting salt in the water makes it more dense, so things that are a little more dense than ordinary water float in salt water.
How do you make things float?
You can't make things float, things float by it's self's it's density is lower than 1 it can float, if it's density is greater than 1 it can't float.
Is salt the reason that things float?
not exactly. things that are less dense than water float. salt makes water more dense and therefore more things can float in it. ============================= (Notice that your rubber duckie floats in the bathtub, even though t here's no salt in your bath.)
Why do things float if there is more density in the water?
If the density of the unknown is more than the density of water , it will sink If the density of the unknown is less than the density of water, it will float. Things do not float unless their densities are below that of water which is 1.00 g/ml.
Why do some things float and why do other things sink?
The object which have more density than water it sinks and which have lower density than water it floats.
How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
Do things float in alcohol?
Yes. For every fluid, there are things that float in it ... they just have to be things that are less dense than the fluid. That's how stones float in mercury, logs float in water, and hot balloons float in air.
