When you drop some ice into a glass of water, the average density of everything
in the glass decreases. Ice is less dense than water. (That's why it floats.)
Reading the question carefully, it's not clear what's happening there. If you
start out with only a piece of ice in a dry glass, then the ice starts melting.
As water appears, the density of everything in the glass is steadily increasing.

How do you make a substance that is more dense than water sink?
how don't you? if it's more dense, than water, it will naturally sink
Why magnesium has a higher melting point?
a more dense metal
Does the dry ice disappear more quickly in air or in water?
molecules are dense in water, heat can be gather faster for melting than while in the air.
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.
What can make water more dense?
Water is pure by nature, however it gets dense due to different impurities. Impurities such as salt and tiny minerals cause the water to get dense.
What is more dense then water?
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
Is cold ocean water more dense than water water?
more dense
Why is water more dense in Utah?
Water in general is not more dense in Utah. The water of the Great Salt Lake, however, is very ... um ... salty. The dissolved minerals in it make it more dense. The Great Salt Lake is actually significantly saltier than ocean water.
How does salt make things float?
It makes the water more dense.
Why does salt water make objects float?
Because it is more dense
