This density is measured by several methods; the simplest is with the formula density=mass/volume.

How do you determine ice's density?

In order to determine the density of ice, one must know if the shape is a geometrical figure as the volume is needed to find the density of an object. However if the block of ice isn't any definable shape, then, by measuring a certain amount of water in a beaker and placing ice into it, you are able to find its volume by subtracting the original amount of water by the ice altered volume of the water. Another way to find the volume of ice is to force a phase change causing it to become water. Once it is water, it is then you are able to find its volume by placing it in a beaker. However during the process of melting, the ice looses density by an unsubstantial amount, enabling the results to be accurate. After the volume is found, the mass must be identified in order to find the density of any object as D=M/V. This can be found simply by weighing it on a sensitive scale. Finally after all of the variables are obtained, plug them into the equation: Density=Mass/Volume.


How much ways Can you find a way to make ice sink in water?

Either attach something heavy to the ice, or play with the density of the water, or of the ice (adding something to it).


Does density have an effect on ice?

Yes, density does have an effect on ice. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water. This property of ice is important for the survival of aquatic life in cold environments, as it helps insulate the water below the ice.

Do scientists use the measure of density to tell if something will float?

yes. for example; Ice is just frozen water, right? So why does ice float in water? When we find the mass of an ice cube and divide that by its volume, we come up with about .92. Ninety-two hundredths is less than one, so the density of ice is less then that of water. Ice floats because the ratio of its mass to volume is less than one.


What is the specific gravity of ice if 35.0 b of ice has a volume of 38.2 ML?

(This is still part of the question... I posted ) I know the answer is 0.916, bc you divid the two numbers... but I am confused as to why you are able to divid the two numbers since their units don't match. For calculations in specific gravity the units must match... so why am I able to just divide these two numbers?
