If cold water sinks why is ice on top of pond?
Ice is lighter than the water it displaces .
What is the freezing point of Robitussin AC?
it freezes when ice sinks in water
Why does ice cubes float in your drink but crushed ice sinks and blocks your straw?
Because ice is lighter than water
Why does the ice cube sinks in alcohol?
An ice cube sinks in alcohol because alcohol is less dense than water. The ice cube, being made of frozen water, has a higher density than alcohol, causing it to sink in the less dense liquid.
Does dry ice float or sink in water?
It sinks. Thanks for using Answers.com!
How does ice float on top of water?
Ice is less dense than water so it floats. ex. ice is more dense than ethanol so it sinks.
Ice cube sink in olive oil?
because it do why you need to know
Does ice float or sinks in water explain their reasons?
Ice is expanded water, so is less dense that the water it floats in. Being less dense, and so lighter, the ice will float on water with at least one third (approximately) above the surface
What are three substances that have a lower density then water?
Ice Air is less dense than water, so water sinks below air. A rock is more dense than water, so it sinks in water and air. And helium, which is less dense than air, rises in air and in water.
Why the ice will float in 5 kg ethanol than the 1 kg water?
Ice will float in ethanol because ethanol has a lower density compared to water. When ice is placed in ethanol, the difference in density causes the ice to be less dense, and therefore float. This is different from water, where the ice is denser than the liquid water and sinks.
What material floats in water but sinks in olive oil what is the material?
It depends on how the ice was frozen, but ice (frozen water) will float in water and will probably have a greater density than olive oil, so it will sink in olive oil.
Why would the temperature of a not stirred warm water change when an ice cube is put in it?
There are water currents especially with temperature changes cooler water sinks forcing the warmer water to flow to the top.
