There are many liquids more dense than water. The most commonly thought of is probably Mercury.

What is liquids are more dense than water?

Liquids such as mercury, glycerol, and sulfuric acid are more dense than water. This means that a given volume of these liquids will weigh more than the same volume of water.


What liquids have a better buoyancy?

Liquids that have a greater density than water, will provide more buoyancy to objects floating in it. Salt water is more dense than fresh water, so objects will float higher in it.


In which liquids will an ice cube float?

in water or anything which is denser than ice


Is water the least dense than all the liquids?

No. Several liquids, including gasoline, oil and alcohol, are less dense.


What determains the destiny of a liquid?

In general, solids are more dense than liquids which are more dense than gases.


Does adding water to a liquid make it less dense?

That depends on the specific situation. Assuming the liquids just mix, and don't have some other reaction: * Adding water to a liquid that is denser than water will result in a liquid that is less dense (than the liquid that is not water). * Adding water to a liquid that is less dense than water will result in a liquid that is more dense.


What are examples of less dense liquids fluids float on more dense fluids?

Examples of less dense liquids that can float on more dense fluids include oil floating on water, as oil has a lower density than water. Another example is alcohol, which can float on mercury due to its lower density. Additionally, certain types of organic solvents, like hexane, can also float on water. These phenomena occur because the less dense liquid tends to rise above the denser liquid due to buoyancy.


Why do some liquids sinks in liquids?

Some liquids sink in other liquids due to differences in density. When a liquid is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink because of gravity. This is similar to how some objects sink or float in water based on their density compared to the water.


Does an egg have more dense then water?

The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.


What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?

If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.


Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?

Yes, a solid can be more dense than a liquid. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so a solid with a higher mass per unit volume than a liquid will be more dense. An example is comparing ice (solid) to water (liquid), where ice is more dense than liquid water.


Does soapstone absorb liquids?

No, soapstone is dense, non-porous and does not absorb liquids. Water and oil can be adsorbed by talc and soapstone.
