Many densities can occur. Mercury has a much higher density than water, for instance. Just as aside, water is not uniformly dense. It is less dense at 32 degrees F than at 39 degrees F. So even within a specific liquid the density can change.

How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?

That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.


Does air have a very low density?

Compared to liquids and solids, yes a very low density.


Will a liquid of higher density displace a liquid of lower density?

Yes, a liquid of higher density will displace a liquid of lower density when the two liquids are immiscible. This is because the liquid with the higher density will sink below the other liquid due to gravity, displacing it.


Do the particles in steam have very low density?

The particles them self, assuming that you are referring to the individual atoms/molecules that makes up a liquid, does not change in "density" when going from one state of matter to another (liquid -> steam). However, the density changes for a certain amount of the matter, for instance one liter. One liter of water weighs a lot more than one liter of water steam. This is because the density of liquid water is much higher than water steam. The density of liquid water is 1000g/liter while the density of steam is 0.8g/liter. In other words, liquid water is over 1200 times denser than water vapor!


How does the density of a liquid affect the density and buoyancy of an object?

The density of a liquid affects the buoyancy of an object by determining whether the object will float or sink in that liquid. If the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid, the object will sink. If the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid, the object will float.

How does a hydrometer work to measure the density of a liquid?

A hydrometer works by floating in a liquid and measuring how high or low it floats based on the liquid's density. The higher it floats, the lower the density of the liquid, and vice versa.

Which states of matter has low density high density and quite high density?

You are asking for comparatives. Each state can be any when compared to another state except the extremes. Liquid or gas either lower or higher depending on what you compare it to.

What is the difference between an oil and gas well test?

The difference is that,an oil is a dark viscous liquid with high density and low rate of diffusion why gas is a well pronounce substance with low density and rate of diffusion.

Is the density of a liquid high or low?

The density of a liquid can vary, but in general, liquids have a high density compared to gases. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so liquids are typically more tightly packed together compared to gases.


What are the special properties of liquids?

liquid cam flow easily . they have low density.


Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?

In general, liquids have lower densities than solids. This is because particles in a liquid are less compactly arranged compared to those in a solid, leading to a lower density. However, there are exceptions, such as ice having a lower density than liquid water.
