ice cube floats in water because it is dense and heavy

if u compare water to alcohol then an ice cube will sink in the alcohol because alcohol is less dense which means its light.

How can ice ice cube float?

It depends if the ice cube your talking about have the bigger density than the water which is 1.00G/ML then it will sink .... TO get the density of the cube u have u have to divide the mass over the volume of the cube..


Will a chunk of ice float higher than an ice cube?

A chunk of ice will float higher in water than an ice cube only if the ice chunk is larger than the ice cube.

yes!


Why will an ice cube dissolve in a glass of water?

An ice cube will dissolve in water because the water is warmer than the ice.


Why doesn't float an ice cube float in air?

An ice cube will not float in air because air has a lower density than ice, making it less buoyant. Ice is less dense than water, which allows it to float in water due to buoyancy. In air, the buoyant force is not strong enough to support the weight of the ice cube, so it will not float.


Which about an ice cube floating in a glass of water is correct?

The ice float on water because the density of ice is lower (0,916 7 g/cm3 at 0 0C) than the density of water (o,999 8 g/cm3 at 0 0C).


Why an ice cube floats in a glass of soft drink?

Ice cubes float in soft drinks, or any liquid, because ice is less dense than the liquid it displaces. This is due to the molecular structure of ice, which causes it to have a lower density than liquid water. As a result, ice cubes will float instead of sink in a glass of soft drink.


Why do ice cubes always float a the top of the glass of water?

Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.


What happens when you place an ice cube in a beaker of water does it float or sink?

When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


In which liquids will an ice cube float?

What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?

If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
