Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
What if the density of the solid is equal to the water will it float or sink?
If the density of the solid is equal to the density of water, it will neither float nor sink. The solid will be in equilibrium and remain suspended in the water at a certain depth without sinking or rising. This is known as neutral buoyancy.
Will a solid ball float or sink?
float
Will cyclohexene sink or float on water?
Cyclohexene will float on water due to its lower density compared to water. Its molecular structure is nonpolar and less dense, causing it to be less soluble in water and float on the surface.
Will cremated ashes dissolve in water?
Some of the ash will, but there will be bone fragments that will sink to the bottom of the water. You can purchase water soluble urns that can be placed in the water. They float for a few minutes and then sink.
Why would a solid steel marble sink and a steel bowl float in a bathtub of water?
it is hollow so it will float
In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
Is USP mineral oil soluble in water?
No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.
Does a solid piece of lead float in the water?
No, lead is a dense material and will sink in water. The density of lead is greater than the density of water, so it will not float.
Does asphalt float or sink?
Asphalt sinks in water because it is denser than water. Generally, solid materials that are denser than water will sink when placed in it.
