Do all frozen liquids float on their liquid as ice floats on water?
No. Exactly the opposite. Water is the only known substance whose solid form floats in its liquid form. Which, incidentally, is a lucky accident, since life on earth would be impossible if ice sank in water.
How do water's relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that od most other substances?
Ice floats. Most other substances are denser in the solid state.
How do waters relative densities as a solid and liquid differ from that of most other substances?
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.
How do waters relatives densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
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.
How do water relative's densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
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.
Why ice floats on the surface of earth?
Because ICE is less dense than water, it is the only solid which floats on its equivalent liquid.
Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?
no ice floats on water
Is matter a solid or liquid?
solid and liquid because gas doesn't take up space it just floats away
Is chocolate cake a liquid or gas or solid?
It's a solid
How do Suspensions relate to mixtures?
Suspensions are mixtures in which the density of the liquid and the solid are such that the solid neither sinks not floats in the liquid but is suspended throughout.
What is the only substance that has a greater density as a liquid than a solid?
Water has higher density than ice. That is why ice floats on water.
What is the density of water in the solid state compared to that in the liquid state?
Ice has about 91.5% of the density of water. It floats because it is less dense than water.
When the water densest as a liquid or solid?
Water is an atypical substance in that its liquid phase is denser than its solid phase. This can be seen as ice floats in a glass of water.
An ice cube floats in your glass of water just as an iceberg floats in the ocean.What conclusion can you draw about the density of solid water?
liquid water is more dense than solid water
Is a solid liquid or gas matter?
solid and liquid because gas doesn't take up space it just floats away
Do all frozen liquids float on their liquid as ice floats on water?
No. Exactly the opposite. Water is the only known substance whose solid form floats in its liquid form. Which, incidentally, is a lucky accident, since life on earth would be impossible if ice sank in water.
How do water's relative densities an a solid a liquid deffer from that most other substances?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. The solid state of other substances is more dense than the liquid state and will sink in the liquid.
