A liquid that is less dense than ice. Pure alcohol is 70% of the density of water- and ice would not float in it.
in water or anything which is denser than ice
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
Generally, solids do not float on their own liquids; they typically sink if they are denser than the liquid. However, ice is an exception because it is less dense than water due to its crystalline structure, which creates more space between molecules. This lower density allows ice to float on liquid water, a unique property that has significant ecological implications for aquatic life.
Yes, ice will float in dish liquid because ice is less dense than liquid water. When ice is placed in dish liquid, it displaces an equal volume of liquid, causing it to float.
Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.
An ice cream float and a soda geyser
a root beer float
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.
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
To make a Sunkist float, fill a glass with vanilla ice cream and slowly pour Sunkist orange soda over the ice cream until the glass is full. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
Dont u mean ice cream?
It depends on the float. But all you do is take Vanilla Bean Ice cream put it in the botton of a cup(1 or 2 scoops is fine) then you add the soda you want the float to be...so if u want a rootbeer float u add rootbeer to the ice cream
