∙ 8y agoIf you are asking if a solid is more dense than a liquid, the answer is ... you cannot tell for sure. Some liquids are more dense than some solids (Mercury is more dense than paper), and some liquids are less dense than solids (alcohol is less dense than lead).

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes this is possible, but usually doesn't happen. An example is: Water is more dense than oil but less viscous than oil at the same time.

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.
What are some characteristics of liquid matter?
less dense than solid but denser than gas no definite shape
What is one substance that is less dense as a solid compared to a liquid?
Water, as ice.
Why hf is less viscous than h2o?
Due to strong H-bonding in H20 than HF.That is why HF IS LESS VISCOUS
Is fluorine denser than air?
it is less denser ithan air
Define volatile and viscous?
Viscous means how thick a LIQUID is and how tightly the particles are packed together if the liquid is thick(less runny) it is more viscous if the liquid is thin(more runny) it is less viscous
If a liquid flows easily what is its viscosity?
IT will be less viscous
What liquid is less viscous than water?
kerosene
How does a less dense substance move within a denser substances?
If it can and in a gravity field, it will float to the top of the denser substance.
Why a liquid is less viscous at high temperature?
When the liquid is at high temperature, the molecules of liquid have more energy & spread further apart. This enables the molecules to move around much more in the liquid which makes it less viscous or fluid.
What is meant by a viscous liquid?
Viscosity is a measure of the thickness or how runny a liquid is. More viscous means thicker and syrup-like. Less viscous means more runny and more like water.
Is natural gas is less dense than oil?
Of course less denser, because a gas is always less denser than liquid.
Is oil a liquid or solid?
Oil is a viscous liquid. Higher the number on the can, less the viscosity of the oil in it.
Is natural gas more or less dense than oil?
Of course less denser, because a gas is always less denser than liquid.
Why might metal sometimes float and sometimes sink?
All objects float if their average density is less than the substance that they are immersed in. So if something is hollow, or has a substance lighter than the liquid in it, it would float on the liquid. (Some things are denser than their surroundings, some are less dense)
How do you measure the viscosity of a liquid?
you can measure it by dropping a lead ball into the liquid while timing it with a stop watch if it is runny then it is more viscous and when it is thick and not runny it is less viscous.
Why does Sound travels less quickly in liquid?
liquid is much denser than air.
