How does waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
Water has a lower density as a solid than it does as a liquid. In the vast majority of substances are denser as solids than as liquids.
Does density have an effect on ice?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
Why do your pickled eggs float?
The density is lower than the density of water.
Why do substances with higher density have a higher boling and freezing point?
Um... who says they do? Lead has a significantly higher density than aluminum but a considerably lower melting point.
Why does kerosene remain above water?
lower density than water.
Density of an object is less than density of water?
It is for some substances and not for other substances.
Does salt water have a lower density than water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
What can float on water?
Any object with a density lower than 1 g/cm3.
Does freshwater have a lower density than salt water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
How does waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
Water has a lower density as a solid than it does as a liquid. In the vast majority of substances are denser as solids than as liquids.
What does a solid block with a lower density than water do in a container of water?
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water.
How is water density affected by freezing?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
Why snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
Does density have an effect on ice?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
When water freezes what causes it to float?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
Why do your pickled eggs float?
The density is lower than the density of water.
