How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense or less dense?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
How can you determine whether a solid is less or more dense than water?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
What is an experiment that can determine whether a solid white substance is a lipid or a carbohydrate?
Rub the substance on a paper bag, if it leaves a grease stain, it is a Lipid.
How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
put them both in a tub of water and if one floats its not as dense as the other if it sinks its more dense
Why is aluminium phosphate a dense and hard solid?
Being solid and dense are "physical" characterists. So, they depend on the INTERmolecular forces betweens the species of the substance(this one is a crystalline so it is composed of ions). Therefore, substance exists as dense solid because the intermolecular forces are strong.
What happens to a substance during changes between solid and I gas?
When a substance changes from a solid to a gas, called sublimation, it quickly becomes less dense.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more or less dense than water?
If its less it floats on the surface of the liquid. If its more it will sink to the bottom.
What is one substance that is less dense as a solid compared to a liquid?
Water, as ice.
How do you determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
