The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called what?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
What substance is least dense rubber copper wood or mercury?
The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.
How do the densities of pure substances differ from the densities of mixtures?
There's no correlation between the composition of a substance and its density. Pure ethanol is less dense than potato-leek soup, but pure mercury is more dense. Potato-leek soup is less dense than pure mercury, but concrete is more dense.
What is always less dense than solids?
Gases are less dense than solids.
Is saliva less dense than oil?
No, oil is less dense than saliva.
How can you determine whether a solid substance is more dense or less dense than water?
see if it floats, if it floats it is less dense.
Which substance is less dense than water?
dry ice

What makes balloons less dense air?
If a balloon is filled with a substance that's less dense than air ... such as helium, hydrogen, steam, or warmer air ... then the balloon is less dense than air.
When sound travels in gas is it more dense or less dense?
The gas phase is less dense than the liquid or solid phase of a substance. Density is not a property of sound.
How do you make a coin float?
make it less dense than the substance it is floating in.
How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
put them both in a tub of water and if one floats its not as dense as the other if it sinks its more dense
Do convection currents form in the mantle when heated materials become more dense?
Actually, heated materials are less dense. When heat is applied to a substance such as liquid, it becomes less dense. It is this less dense and heated material that rises because it weighs less. The part of the mantle that is more dense would be any substance that is cooling and is sinking down.
Do cornoil float on water?
Corn oil floats on water. It floats because oil is less dense than water. When one substance is less dense than another it rises to the top.
When is h20 most dense?
ANSWER At 4 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature at which specific gravity is defined. Note that ice floats because it is less dense than the water it is in. Water is the only substance known which is less dense as a solid than as a liquid.
Why are liquids usually less dense than a solid of the same substance?
The intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids.
If an object floats does that mean it is dence?
If an object floats it is less dense than the substance it's floating in.
