Why does potassium floats on water and calcium sinks?
If you put water into water, it would eventually get mixed. Fresh water is less dense than salt water and fresh water from rain or rivers will "float" on underlying salt sea water. Water of different temperature and different salinity have different densities and do make layers in the oceans and lakes of the world. Ordinary water will usually mix rather than separate, unless it is frozen into ice, which is less dense than liquid water. There is also "heavy water" that has deuterium in the place of ordinary hydrogen and is ABOUT 11% denser than ordinary water, which will float above it.
Why does waters freezing point make water a poor choice for the liquid in a thermometer?

What percent for the world is water?
the oceans are 100% water... lol If you're talking about pure water, without salt or liquid waste, probably about 97%... I'm not sure what the salt-to-water ratio is, but it does fluctuate depending on what part of the ocean you're drawing your sample from.
What percent of salt water is frozen?
Of the 2% fresh water in our world, around 90% is frozen but I guess more and more are in liquid form now due to global warming
How is water different from most liquids?
Water is different from other liquids because, unlike any other liquid in the world, water can exist in all three states of matter; water vapor, water, and Ice.Water is different from most substances in that when it freezes, it takes up more volume than when it is a liquid.
Which is dencer fresh or salwater?
Saltwater is denser,and in fact saltwater has different densities around the world.
What is the pure metal?
Tungsten is the strongest pure metal in the world. Tungsten has a very high density, more than 19.3 times denser than water. It is denser than uranium and lead.
What is the approximate percentage of the world's water to where it is stored?
liquid,salt water 97 % frozen 2 % liquid,fresh water 1 % APEX:)
Is mater a solid liquid and gas?
yes. Matter is the stuff of the physical world. Everything is made up of matter. Different combinations of atoms make up matter. As to which substance is liquid, solid, and gas...it's water.
What Is The Most common Liquid In The World?
Depends how you define world: if you mean the surface of the Earth, I presume it's water. If you mean the enture world, then molten rock will be the most abundant liquid.
What planet is described as having an ocean of liquid with no solid surface?
a water world
Where is most of the water in the world?
In the sea, but there is a significant volume on land, as liquid or ice.
Why anders celsius chose water for thermometer?
He chose water because it is world's most common liquid to test.
Where is the most of the water in the world located?

What is moving liquid?
The most common liquid (on our world) is water, and moving water is commonly found in rivers. It moves in oceans as well, in the form of waves and currents. It also moves out of faucets. Falling rain is another form of moving liquid.
Is all water created equal?
