What else can I help you with?
When will a hydrometer sink?
I believe that this has to do with comparitive relative densities of a. the liquid under consideration b. the actual hydrometeor.
How do things sink or float in water?
If you use ice and two compounds, where the ice floats in compound A and sinks in compound B. The ice floats in compound A because the compound has a greater density than the ice' and sinks in compound B because the compound has a lesser density than the ice.
What would happen to aquatic organisms if solid water were denser than liquid water?
It would not be good. I don't think that life on earth could be sustained. Ice floats on top of water b/c it is less dense. This prevents the water underneath the ice from freezing. If ice sank, then nothing would stop all water from freezing. Even if these freezing cycles were reversed as earth's temperatures change, it would not bode well for life on earth. (Consider earth's many ice ages)The ice would sink and the water level will rise.Additional answerThe ice would, indeed, sink. But this would cause the water level to go down. Think about it. The bit of water that has become ice would be smaller than it was before so the level would go down.
Does wood float on kerosene?
Sorry if this doesn't help, but it sort of depends on the density of the oil. If oil A has a density lower than oil B, A will float on B. Calculate the density by doing mass divided by volume. If it is under 1 it will float on normal water. If more it will sink.
Suppose you have a solution of two perfectly miscible liquids Liquid A is the solvent and liquid B is the solute How can you change the solution so that liquid B becomes the solvent?
One way to change the solution so that liquid B becomes the solvent is to evaporate liquid A, leaving behind liquid B. Another way is to add a third substance that is immiscible with liquid A but miscible with liquid B, causing liquid B to separate and become the dominant solvent phase. Alternatively, you can use a process like liquid-liquid extraction to selectively extract liquid B into a new solvent.
What is an example of a gas-liquid mixture A) the air we breath b) a carbonated drink c) soapsuds d) ice cube?
B) A carbonated drink is an example of a gas-liquid mixture. In this case, carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the liquid, creating bubbles and fizz when the pressure is released. The other options do not represent a gas-liquid mixture in the same way.
If something floats in water does the water have more or less density?
The general rule is that an object will float, if it has less density that the liquid (or gas) in which it is placed. If the density of a liquid is greater, a larger amount of objects will float. Also, the same object will float higher, if it is placed in a denser liquid.
Yummy treats from a blender?
B+B icee Ingredients 1. Blender full of ice 2. A little bit of water 3. Sprite 4.mtn. dew 5.lemonade 6. Lemon juice Directions Blend ice and add liquid ingredients. Then ENJOY!!!!!
Can a double value be assigned to float variable?
THIS IS FOR JAVA i don't know about anything about other languages yes it can be assignedthe syntax is:int (number) = (float) numberFOR EXAMPLE:int = a;a = (float ) 5.5;if the (float) is not there then in Java it gives an error saying precision loss of data type
What is the formula to find relative density of liquids?
Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B. The temperatures and pressures for both liquids must be specified.Often the reference liquid (liquid B) is pure water at one atmosphere and room temperature (20 deg C). In that case, the ratio is also known as specific gravity.Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B.

What percentage alcohol for ice to sink?
the specific gravity of ethanol (booze) is 0.791, the specific gravity of ice is 0.915. 0.791/0.915 = 86.4% alcohol that is 86.4% or greater should sink icecubes (not sure this is right, the math that is...)
Do lagos flote?
If you mean "do legos foat" then yes, they do float as long as you put pressur on them because then the water would cover the Lego and cause it to sink. As long s you leave it alone the Lego will foat on top of water. B-EHS
