What liquid can ice sink in?
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
Why does ice float in liquid A and sink in liquid B?
because liquid A is viscous then liquid B
Does ice sink under the cup?
No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.
How can you predict whether an object will sink or float in a liquid?
To predict whether an object will sink or float in a liquid, you must first examine the densities of both the object and the liquid. If the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, the density of water is approximately 1g/ cm3. The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/ cm3. That is why when water freezes, the ice floats on the top rather than sinking to the bottom.
Is ice less dense than warm water?
Yes, ice is less dense than liquid water, regardless of its temperature. Dry ice will sink.
Why is the ice in my drink not floating?
The ice in your drink is not floating because ice is less dense than liquid water. When ice is placed in a drink, it displaces an equal volume of liquid, causing it to sink to the bottom rather than float on top.
When placed in water ice rises to the top of the liquid. Unlike most solids that sink when placed in their liquid forms ice floats because -?
There are microscopic bubbles of air trapped in the ice - making it lighter than the water.

What physical property of water causes ice to float in liquid water but sink in alcohol?
The physical property of water that causes ice to float is its lower density compared to liquid water; ice has a density of about 0.92 g/cm³, while liquid water has a density of approximately 1.00 g/cm³. This lower density allows ice to remain buoyant in water. In contrast, many alcohols, such as ethanol, have a lower density than ice, which causes ice to sink when placed in alcohol.
Why an ice cube floats in a glass of soft drink?
Ice cubes float in soft drinks, or any liquid, because ice is less dense than the liquid it displaces. This is due to the molecular structure of ice, which causes it to have a lower density than liquid water. As a result, ice cubes will float instead of sink in a glass of soft drink.
Will ice float in ether?
No. It will sink because ice is denser than ether, and denser things sink to the bottom. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/ml and ether has a density of 0.736 g/ml.
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.
