Water has its highest density at 4 degress centigrade (give or take a few hundredths). So, one gallon of water at that temperature is going to have a greater mass than frozen water, which has a lower density than liquid water. That's why ice floats on water, it's got a lower density(density is mass divided by volume).


a gallon of water. by 9.05 percent.

What liquid is less viscous yet heavier than water?

Mercury is a liquid that is less viscous but heavier than water. Mercury is a dense liquid metal at room temperature, making it heavier than water, which is less viscous than water due to its lower viscosity.


What liquid is heavier than syrup?

One example of a liquid heavier than syrup is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is over 13 times heavier than water and significantly heavier than syrup due to its high density.


What happens when water vapor forms larger and heavier liquid?

It forms a cloud


What is hevier ice or water?

If you freeze a sample of liquid water it should expand but still weigh the same amount. Water is denser than ice so by volume liquid water is heavier than water ice, thus ice floats.

How could you tell if a liquid has a higher or lower density than water?

If a liquid does not mix with water and you pour a little water on the liquid, then if the water sinks, the water has a higher density than the liquid; otherwise, the liquid has a higher density. If a drop of the water dissolves in the liquid, then you weigh an equal volume of both liquids. The heavier one has the higher density.


How do you make water weights heavier?

You can make water weights heavier by adding more water to the container or by using a denser liquid, such as sand or gravel, in combination with water. Increasing the volume or density of the liquid will increase the weight of the water weights.

Could water float?

Technically if there's a liquid that's heavier than water and is clear, it could give water the appearance of floating.


Is liquid oxygen heavier than water?

A thing's heaviness is a measure of gravity's effect on its mass. Molecule for molecule, H2O (water) is heavier than O2 (oxygen); however, you are comparing two different molecules at two different pressures and densities. Oxygen, while lighter than water (molecule for molecule) at normal pressures, is much heavier when compressed to the point of condensation. Liquid oxygen has a weight of 1.141 g/ml, whereas water's weight is 1 g/ml. They are very close to the same weight, but liquid oxygen is almost 15% heavier.


Is a liquid heavy or light?

Well it can be either light of heavy depending on the amount of liquid and the density of liquid. 1 Litre of water - 1 Kilogram Oil is heavier than water; it sinks to the bottom For more information on liquid density and liquid weight search Google
