Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03.

Which liquid floats on top water or kerosene?
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
Give an example bouoyancy?
Upward push on an object by the liquid is in (to Float).
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
Does cork float or sink in water?
it floats
Does ethanol float or sink in water?
Floats
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?
no ice floats on water
Do all frozen liquids float on their liquid as ice floats on water?
No. Exactly the opposite. Water is the only known substance whose solid form floats in its liquid form. Which, incidentally, is a lucky accident, since life on earth would be impossible if ice sank in water.
Which characteristic of water is most helpful to fish in a lake?
When Frozen water floats on liquid water
Why water is the only substance when freeze float on the surface of water?
Because the volume of frozen water (Ice) is more than in the liquid form. therefore an ice cube replaces more water hence it floats on the surface of water.
When a substance freezes does its density change?
Yes. When frozen, water expands becoming less dense. (That's why ice floats in water ... even in ice-cold water.)
Why olive oil floats to the top of water whenever added?
frozen water
Frozen water is less dense than liquid water what does this allow ice to do?
Float
Which liquid floats on top water or kerosene?
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
How can water float on water?
freeze water as ice cubes then put it on water and it floats Liquid fresh water floats on salt water Warm water floats on cold water (water's greatest density is when it is 4 degrees Celsius).
Is an icecube less dense than liquid water?
Yes. This is shown by floating an icecube on liquid water. Anything denser than water, such as metal, will sink in water. Ice floats because when it freezes, the molecules form hexagonal shapes, and air gets trapped between the frozen water molecules, causing it to float.
If you want to make an object float in a liquid what must you do?
Put it in a bowl or tank.. then submerge it in water/liquid.. If it floats.. You succeed, if not.. Then you are a epic fail..
