Ice cubes are denser than cork. To test this yourself, take an identical size cube of each one, and weigh each on accurate scales. The cube of ice will weigh more than the cube of cork. Since density is weight (or mass) divided by volume, and the 2 volumes are the same, the ice is denser than the cork. Or, you could take an identical size sphere of each and lower them both into cold water. A visual inspection will show the obvious differences. The one that floats higher will be the one that's less dense (the cork).

What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.
What is more dense ice or snow?
Ice is denser than snow
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
Why ice doesn't float on champeign?
Ice floats in water but sinks in champagne because it is less dense that pure water, but denser than the alcohol in champagne.
Which is more dense alcohol or fruit juice?
Fruit juice is denser as it is almost all water.
How can an ice cube float in a glass of water?
ice cube floats in water because it is dense and heavy if u compare water to alcohol then an ice cube will sink in the alcohol because alcohol is less dense which means its light.
Do ice cubes float higher in alcohol?
No. Ice cubes will sink in pure alcohol, and will float lower in low-proof alcoholic beverages. This is because alcohol is less dense than ice.
Is water or ice more dense?
Water is more dense than ice because it's molecules are closer together.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is dry ice more or less dense than air?
It is more dense.
Which is most dense ice or water?
Water is more dense.
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.
Is liquid water more dense than ice water?
yes liquid water is more dense than ice water
Is solid ice more dense than water?
No. It is less dense.
Why does ice float on water but sinks in methylated spirits?
The density of rubbing alcohol is 75% that of water. Thus ice (frozen water which is roughly equal in density to liquid water), sinks in rubbing alcohol since it has more mass per cubic millimeter than the alcohol does. In order to float, the object would have to be less dense than the alcohol per cubic space.
Is Liquid water less dense or more dense?
Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
