Why sea water and freshwater do not have same density?
Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water
Which is lighter fresh or salt water?
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
How does the amount of fresh water compare to the amount of salt water on the Earth?
It Is The 1 Up There ! :D
When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?
If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.
How does density affects fresh water VS salt water?
The salinity of water affects its density By the way this was answered by a fourth grader. I'm really smart
What is the densities of fresh water and salt water?
Salt Water Density: 1.027 g/mL Fresh Water Density: 1 g/mL
Which has higher density salt water or fresh?
Salt water has a higher density than fresh water. Fresh water is only made up of two things, hydrogen and oxygen. Salt water is made up of hydrogen oxygen sodium and chlorine, which gives it a higher density.
Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?
Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
Why does freshwater float on saltwater?
Salt water is denser hence HEAVIER then fresh water, Salt Water has a density of 1.02g/ml and Fresh Water has a density of 1.00g/ml.
Does toys float better on fresh water or on salt water?
No. Toys float better on salt water than on fresh water because salt water has higher density, and the ratio of density controls buoyancy.
Does salt water have a lower density than water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
Why does a grape float on salt water and not fresh water?
the density
Does freshwater have a lower density than salt water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
Why sea water and freshwater do not have same density?
Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water
Which is lighter fresh or salt water?
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
Why can a person not float in fresh water but can in salt water what does that tell us about the density of salt water?
Salt water has higher density than the body of a person who floats on it, but the person's body may sink in less dense fresh water.
Is it quicker to swim in salt water or fresh water?
Salt water has a slightly higher density, so it will be a little quicker to swim in fresh water.
