How would you determine the density of candle wax that floats on water?

Yes, the density of a candle is slightly less than water so it will float at cold and hot temperatures; however water density gets lower with increase in temperature; if you get very close to boiling point (100C or 212F) it may sink.

Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
Why a tar can floats on sea water?
The density of tar is lower.
Ice float on water because?
Ice floats because it is less dense than water. The lower density is because in ice the molecules are arranged into a hexagonal crystal structure that leaves extra space in between.
How could you determine if an object has greater density than water?
It will sink when you put it in water. If it floats it has less density then water.
Pumice is a volcanic rock that floats Its density is?
With out knowing further knowledge about the rock it is unable to determine the exact density. However, since the rock floats, presumably in water, the density must be less then 1.00g/L.
Why wood floats on water?
the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...
How does density determine an objects ability to float in water?
when some thing is less dense than the liquid it floats
What is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
Why snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
How can the density of a material be used to determine if it will float or sink in water?
If the density is more than 1 (gram per cc), then a solid lump of it sinks in water. Less than 1, it floats.
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
What can you infer about the density of a material if a sampleof it floats in water?
That the material's density is less than the density of water.
What floats and what doesn't floats?
everything which has less density than water will float.....
Why wood floats in water?
Wood mostly floats in water because it has a lower density than water. it is NOT lighter than water, it is LESS DENSE. water has a density of 1.0 g/cm cubed. that means wood usually has a density of .99 or less. But, not all wood floats, keep that in mind
