In which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?
Ice can float on liquid water.
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
Why don't iceburgs sink?
Ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats. This is the same reason why ice cubes float in a glass of water.
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Which is denser water or the same water that formed into an ice tube?
Liquid water is denser because when water freezes, the water particles spread out as they solidify. This means that the same amount of particles take up more space, causing the density to decrease. Ice is less dense also because ice cubes float on liquid water. Less dense things float on more dense things.
Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?
No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.
Do icecubes float?
Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.
Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?
no ice floats on water
In which liquids will an ice cube float?
in water or anything which is denser than ice
Frozen water is less dense than liquid water what does this allow ice to do?
Float
What is a way to see that ice is less dense then liquid water?
Put ice cubes in a glass of water. They will float, indicating that they are less dense than liquid water.
What liquids don't make ice float?
A liquid that is less dense than ice. Pure alcohol is 70% of the density of water- and ice would not float in it.
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
Are there other solids besides ice and water that will float in the same liquid?
Oil/petroleum (gasoline?) will float on top of water as well.
Does ice float in boiling water?
Yes, boiling does not alter the specific gravity of liquid water.
Which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?
Ice can float on liquid water.
In which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?
Ice can float on liquid water.
