The density of liquid water is nearly 1000 kg/m3. (1 gram/cubic centimeter)
The density of ice is 916.7 kg/m3 at 0 °C kg/m3.
Therefore ice floats in water.The SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3).
The density of fresh water is dependent on the temperature (and on any solutes):
At 3.98 degrees Celsius the density is 999.975 kilograms per cubic meter.
At 100 degrees Celsius the density is 958.35 kilograms per cubic meter.

∙ 12y agoStrange as it may seem, liquid water is more dense than ice. That's why ice cubes
float in your drink, and icebergs float in the ocean.
It's also the reason why a frozen lake or pond is able to thaw. If ice were more dense,
then only the top of the frozen lake could ever thaw, because the ice lower down could
never float up to the surface to be melted by the sun.
Pretty lucky for human life on earth, eh ? Makes you think.

∙ 11y agoIce is less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats on top of water. This is a property unique to water. For all other substances, the solid phase is more dense than the liquid and will sink in the liquid.

The density of water is 1.0g/cm3 (1000kg/m3 ) and ice is well in ice there are various answer but all of this are right they not given very accurate 0.92g/cm3

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.
How can ice ice cube float?
It depends if the ice cube your talking about have the bigger density than the water which is 1.00G/ML then it will sink .... TO get the density of the cube u have u have to divide the mass over the volume of the cube..
How much density does a ice cube weigh?
1.5
What happens to the particles that make up an ice cube when melted?
An ice cube is just frozen water. When an ice cube melts it becomes water. Eventually, the water will evaporate.
What takes up more space an ice cube or the water?
ice cube
How can an ice cube float in a glass of water?

How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.

What is the purpose of ice cube in water or alcohol?
To measure density
Why do ice cubes sink but when you drink the water they rise to the top?
Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.
What part of an ice floats on water?
Let V be the volume of the ice cube and U be the volume of the cube immersed in water density of water at 4oC = 0.998 g/cm³ density of ice at 0oC = 0.917 g/cm³ Weight of the ice cube = volume * density * g = 0.917*V*g [N] Buoyancy on the ice cube = volume * density * g = 0.988*U*g [N] Apply Newton's 3rd Law of Motion to the floating ice cube: 0.917*V*g = 0.988*U*g U/V = 0.928 = 92.8% Hence, 92.8% of the ice cube is immersed in water, or 7.2% of the ice cube is above water. The answer in percent can be converted to a fraction as follows: 7.2/100. =========================
Which ice cube will sink the one in water or hydrogen peroxide?
an ice cube cannot sink in water because its density is less than that of water. this is because of the air bubbles trapped inside; that make the ice cube less dense than water.
Why does a ice cube fall in air?
B/c the density of the ice cube is greater than the density of the air.
How dense can ice get?
To calculate the density of any object all you need to do is measure the mass and volume. Density = mass/volumeThe density of ice is less than water(which is why only the top of lakes freeze in the winter). For those that want to find the density while it is floating in water look below: Imagine a cube of ice floating in water. In order for it to float the force of gravity on the ice must equal the force of buoyancy on the ice. The force of buoyancy as described by Archimedes is equal to the mass of water displaced by the ice. Lets say the ice is x cm below the level of the water. then: force buoyancy = (density of water)*volume*gforce buoyancy = (density of water)*(area of ice cube)*x*g where g is the acceleration due to gravity equating this to the force of gravity gives: (density of water)*x = (density ice)*(total height of cube) hope that helps.
Why an ice cube floats in a glass of soft drink?
The density of an ice cube is less than the liquid.
Which about an ice cube floating in a glass of water is correct?
The ice float on water because the density of ice is lower (0,916 7 g/cm3 at 0 0C) than the density of water (o,999 8 g/cm3 at 0 0C).
