Is it unusual that rivers flow north?
The Red River is a major North American river located in North Dakota. The reason that the Red River flows north is due to the fact that the location of the river is 200 feet higher in elevation than the water in which it feeds into. This causes the water to the lowest point of elevation which actually sits to the north of the river.
How heavy is pumice?
Pumice, being mostly composed of air bubbles, is surprisingly light for a rock. So light, in fact, that it can float on water.
Which property of marbles causes the water level to rise when they are put in a graduated cylinder?
The fact that they are waterproof. Partly but they take space in the water and as a result water is displaced and rises.
What are the properties of hydrocarbon?
Some of the physical properties of hydrocarbons include the fact that hydrocarbons are non-reactive and are soluble in water. Hydrocarbons are able to burn over a flame and will produce water and carbon dioxide when reacting with oxygen. Most hydrocarbons are less dense than water and are able to float on water. Hydrocarbons are non-polar and will react with bromine and potassium under certain circumstances.
Does salt mix well with other chemicals?
yes. in fact, when you mix salt with water, you get salt water. =]
What causes wood to float?
Not all types of wood float, but most do. The fact that wood generally floats is simply because it is less dense than water.
What is an unusual or interesting fact about an anaconda?
anacondas live in water
How will you determine if something will float in water?
If the object, when submerged in water, displaces a volume of water whose mass is greater than its own, then it will float. The density of the material from which it is made is not the key as can be seen from the fact that ships made of metal will float.
Why does a mans penis float in the bath?
Penis tissue is less dense than water, therefore a penis will float. Fun fact: breasts also float. also another answer..... life!
Does dishsoap float on water?
Well a matter of fact, it actually does. It's because the density of dishsoap is more dense then water. :)
What makes a balloon float on water?
The fact that the balloon is so light allows it to stay afloat,
Why does fish float on water despite the fact they are denser than water?
A fish may be denser than water. But in the body of a fish there is an air sac at its backbone which would fill with air which in turn allow it to float or rise with ease.
How dence is Jupiter?
Not very dense. It in fact, if it were here on earth, could float in a bath full of water.
What is an fact about the capybara?
Some unusual things about the capybara are:They are rodents. Though they are as large as a pig, they are rodentsThey mate under water which is unusual for any land animal
Is water with more salt more dense than water with less salt?
Yes, in fact, there is a lake called the Dead Sea, which has a very high salinity level, so high, that people float as if they were on a float or a raft.
What are some unusual properties of lithium?
One unusual property is the very low density of lithium, at 0.534 g/cm3. Usually metals have high densities but lithium does not, which can be attributed to the fact that lithium is a group I metal, and in fact, the first group I metal. This means that lithium metal will actually float on water and on any hydrocarbon oil. It is less dense than any liquid element and also the least dense of elements that are solids at room temperature.
Does a stick absorb water?
Yes, most certainly it does. A stick is wood and is made of a fibrous material which can absorb water. In fact it can become so saturated with water that it will not float.
