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

ice is less dense than water

No, water is more dense than ice cubes. That's why ice cubes always float.

Will what float in a glass of water?

Ice cubes do float on water.

ICE ... Think of a glass of water with ice cubes in it. They float! Water actually expands when it is frozen, making it less dense.

Ice cubes are less dense than water.

Put ice cubes in a glass of water. They will float, indicating that they are less dense than liquid water.

They float, as ice is less dense than water.

Because ice cubes are less dense than water.

Ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats. This is the same reason why ice cubes float in a glass of water.

They don't, ice cubes float in water. Unlike most substances the solid form of water is less dense than its liquid form causing it to float.

They shouldn't, ice cubes should float if they are only ice (water).

No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.

The temperature of the water become lower.

Ice is less dense than water, so ice will float.

Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.

well the ice cubes will disappear and the ice cubes make the water bigger because the ice cubes will melt into water!

Glass can float. Next time you do the washing up notice how a glass plate or a glass floats. That's because glass can float on water .. other writer.. glass cannot float. it is denser than water causing it to sink. The only reason that the writer above has realized that the glass plate has floated is because that when you place the plate on the water you catch an air pocket. and it stays afloat the surface. thankss

Yes. Ice cubes are less dense than oil and so they will float. But once they melt, oil will float as water (the melted ice) is more dense than oil.

Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.

icecubes are less dense than water because when water freezes it expands giving it greater volume but the same mass

Yes, solid water (ice) is more dense than liquid water. This is what makes ice cubes float to the top of a glass.

The air outside the glass has water vapor in it. This is cooled and condenses on the glass.

It feels like ice , and glass like . · The glass filled with cold water and ice cubes felt cold on the outside as well.

Cullets doesn't float on water.
