Is frozen salt water heavier than frozen water?
The density of saline water is greater than the density of pure water.
Why does the ice flaoats in the water?
Water is an unusual compound. When most substances freeze they contract. When liquid water freezes it expands. Density is mass divided by volume. You still have the same amount of matter, but frozen water it takes up a greater volume. Therefore, the density of frozen water is less than that of liquid water. So, it floats.
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
If a liquid is poured into water and falls to the bottom the density must be greater than what?
If a liquid is poured into water and falls to the bottom the density must be greater than 1.
Do all frozen liquids float on their liquid as ice floats on water?
No. Exactly the opposite. Water is the only known substance whose solid form floats in its liquid form. Which, incidentally, is a lucky accident, since life on earth would be impossible if ice sank in water.
What causes ice to float in liquid water?
When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass as water, the density of ice is slightly less than water, causing it to float on water.
Will a liquid with a density of 1.1 g mL sink or float in water?
The liquid will sink in water since its density is greater than that of water (1 g/mL). Objects with a higher density than the liquid they are placed in will sink, while those with a lower density will float.
What is the only substance that has a greater density as a liquid than a solid?
Water has higher density than ice. That is why ice floats on water.
Describe how liquid water and ice affects rocks?
When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass as water, the density of ice is slightly less than water, causing it to float on water.
Where does the ability of an object to float or submerge in water depends on?
ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water
Why does ice stay over the liquid water on ponds and lakes?
When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass
Does frozen water and liquid water have the same mass?
Yes, frozen water (ice) and liquid water have the same mass when measured under the same conditions. The mass of water does not change when it freezes; however, its volume does change due to the difference in density between ice and liquid water. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats.
