Yes ice is more dense, that's why it floats. When water freezes, it expands. If you've ever frozen a water bottle and let it thaw, there is more water in it in the end. so yes there is.

When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
If you are submerged in a liquid denser than water what will happen to the pressure?
The pressure will get higher quicker than in water because there is a different density between the liquids, and because there is a higher density, the liquid will be heavier and would push on you more than the smaller density of water. if you would submerge deep in that liquid, you will explode at a lower distance from the surface than in water.
How does the density of iol to the density of water?
You need to specify the oil, since there are many oils having different densities. Some oils are less dense than water, while some oils are more dense than water. Motor oil has a density of about 0.876 g/mL ; while water has a density of about 1.000 g/mL.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
What is mean density on Saturn?
The density of Saturn is less than the density of water, about 70% of water's density in fact.
The density of oil?
Different oils have different densities; usually a bit less than the density of water.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
Does location matter for the density of water?
Yes. Density is affected by pressure and temperature. So of course, water from a hot spring would have different density than water in colder regions of the world. Also, water from different depths would have different densities.
Does hydrogen float in water?
if it is less dense than the water, it floats. Water can have different density.
Why oil not mixed with water?
Because of different densities; being density of oil lower than water density, this makes oil float on water
Why does a penny sink but logs and wood don't?
Because of the different densities. The density of wood is less than water while the density of a penny is greater than water.
An object that floats in water has a density of?
less than water different objects have varying densities
Why does ice have a different density than?
Because ice is a frozen solid and water is not.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
How much does the density have to be for something to sink?
Answer: More than 1.0 Answer: More than the density of the liquid in which the object is placed. For example, water has a density of about 1000 kg/m3; any object with a greater density than this will sink if placed in water. If you place something in oil, the numbers are different.
