The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.

Ice floats in water because it is less dense than water.

When water freezes it unlike other substance?
Yes. Ice is less dense than liquid water. For virtually all other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
Is water the only substance that increases in volume when cooled?
No, water is not the only substance that increase in volume when it changes state from liquid to solid. The element gallium is less dense as a solid than as a liquid, to name one. Generally speaking, solids are usually more dense than their liquid forms, but not always. and some other liquids also do
How do water relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.

What happens to a substance during changes between a liquid and gas?
Vaporation takes place when the particles in a liquid gain enough energy to move independently forming a gas. if anyone has more info please add it. Thank you
What is the relationship between object density the liquid density and the tendency of the object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.

A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
What is one substance that is less dense as a solid compared to a liquid?
Water, as ice.
What is the most dense liquid substance?
Mercury, with a density of 13.590 Kg/m3
When sound travels in gas is it more dense or less dense?
The gas phase is less dense than the liquid or solid phase of a substance. Density is not a property of sound.
How come the wax of the lava lamp come down?
The wax substance is more dense than the liquid when cool and less dense than the liquid when heated. The wax moves by density convection.

Yes. Ice is less dense than liquid water. For virtually all other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.

Liquid water and ice are the same substance h20 how would you?
Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water.
Is water the only substance that increases in volume when cooled?
No, water is not the only substance that increase in volume when it changes state from liquid to solid. The element gallium is less dense as a solid than as a liquid, to name one. Generally speaking, solids are usually more dense than their liquid forms, but not always. and some other liquids also do
Is specific gravity of ice is same as water?
It's possible for a solid to have the same specific gravity as a liquid. In general, though, no. Solid and liquid forms of the same substance almost always have different specific gravities (and most often the liquid is less dense; water is one of the few where the liquid is more dense).
