if it sinks its more dense if it floats its less dense

The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in 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.
When water freezes it unlike other substance?
Yes. Ice is less dense than liquid water. For virtually all other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
Why does water become less dense as it expands?
Water becomes dense when it is more saturated than absorbing a solution. For example, salt with make water more dense because as more salt is added, it becomes saturated.

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 sea water more dense then fresh water?
Sea water is more dense because the minerals, especially salt, make it more dense.
How can you determine whether a solid substance is more dense or less dense than water?
see if it floats, if it floats it is less dense.
Why does hot water ries?
In general, hot means the substance is less dense. Less dense things tend to rise when they are in more dense things.
Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
What force acts on a hand in a rubber glove when it is dipped in water?
Pressure caused by the more dense (water) substance surrounding the gloved hand.
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.
