How could you tell if a liquid has a higher or lower density than water?

If a liquid does not mix with water and you pour a little water on the liquid, then if the water sinks, the water has a higher density than the liquid; otherwise, the liquid has a higher density. If a drop of the water dissolves in the liquid, then you weigh an equal volume of both liquids. The heavier one has the higher density.

Which liquid settles down ina mixture of liquids the higher density or lower density?
The liquid of higher density will settle to the bottom.
Do materials with high density float or sink?
This depends on what the material is floating or sinking in. If an object in water that has a higher density than water will sink, but if it has a lower density it will float. For example, water has a density of 1.00 g/mL so if you put something with a density higher than 1 g/mL into it it will sink, but if the material you put in it has a density lower than 1 g/mL it will float.
Which liquid be on top?
The liquid with a lower density.
Why does Syrup settles to bottom?
Sirup sinks in water because it is denser. Liquid of higher density always sinks in liquid of lower desity.
What happens if you mix liquid that have different densities?
The liquid with the higher density will stay down while the one with the lower density will rise up, thus stratifying the liquids into different layers.
Does high density boil before low density?
No. A liquid with a lower density will boil before one with a higher density (assuming identical heat sources). Fresh water will boil at a lower temperature than salt water.
Why does a icebreg float?
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or the lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
What liquid floats over any other liquid?
The liquid with a lower density float over the liquid with a highrer density.
Do boats float higher or lower in tropical waters?
higher as when the temprature rises the density of the water/liquid decreases, so does the buoyant force that the water/liquid exerts on an object such as a boat or vessel
Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Coal is a solid with a very low density. Mercury is a liquid with a very high density.
