Why does steam weigh less than water?
Both steam and liquid water are made of the same substance (H2O). However, in the gaseous form (steam), the molecules are moving more quickly, and they are spread apart much farther. As such, the number of molecules per given volume (the mass per volume) is lower for steam. Mass per volume is the same thing as density.
If the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces what will happen?
It will sink, because it has a greater density (the same volume weighing more)
If a rock with less mass and volume than a body of water how is it possible that it has a greater density and can sink?
Body of water has large mass and volume. Rock has got less mass and volume. But still the rock sinks in the water. The reason is very simple. Density of the rock is more than water. Mass upon volume of the rock is more than water. So rock sinks in the water. That means rock is heavier than water, if the volume of both is same. Alternately the if you take the same mass of both, rock and water, volume of the rock is lesser than that of water.
How do yo know if a product will sink in water?
The answer depends on the volume of water that the body will displace when wholly submerged. It has little to do with density since a ship, which is made of metals which are denser than water, will float.
Why volume of water exerts greater pressure than volume of air?
DENSER MORE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE LOOK AT SCIENCE TEXT BOOK DONT CHEAT ON WIKI Water has more density than air.
Will the volume of lead be greater or less than one gram of water?
The volume of lead will be greater than one gram of water. The density?æof lead is about 11 times more than that of water.?æ
Does water with a greater volume cool faster than water with a less volume?
NO
Is 19.3 milliliters of water greater than 1 milliliter of gold?
Yes, on volume basis The volume of 19,3 milliters of water (or anything else) is greater than the volume of 1 milliliter of gold (or anything else)
Which has the greater mass a bottle of water or a bottle of steam?
If the bottles are identical, then the bottle of waterhasmore mass in it than the bottle of steam.
Why 1 gram of steam has a volume about 1000 times the volume of one gram ofwater?
Simply because - due to the addition of heat, the water molecules in steam are further apart than those in cold water.
Explain why the grams of ice would have a greater volume than 100 grams of water?
When the water froze into ice it was expanding (thermal expanision) causing the 100 grams of ice to have a greater volume than 100 grams of water!
Does water have a greater mass than lead?
water has less density than lead. Mass depends on its volume
What is true about the mass and volume of all sinking object?
If an object sinks in water, then its mass is greater than the mass of the volume of water that the object displaces. (That could be equal to or greater than the object's actual volume ... a drinking glass displaces more water than the volume of glass in it until the water washes over its rim. A canoe, a bass-boat, and a ship are designed to displace more water than their actual volume.)
Which is greater if the same volume of water is transform into ice or it remain liquid?
The Ice will have a greater volume than the liquid water it is made form. This is because Ice is less dense than water (- we can see this because ice floats), a very unusual property of water.
Why the 100 grams of ice would have a greater volume 100 grams of water?
When the water froze into ice it was expanding (thermal expanision) causing the 100 grams of ice to have a greater volume than 100 grams of water!
100 grams is always equal to 100 cubic centimeters?
100 grams of water at standard temperature and pressure has a volume of 100 cubic centimeters or 100 millilitres. The volume of 100 grams of any other substance will depend on its specific gravity or density: if less than that of water, it will have a greater volume; if greater than that of water, it will have a smaller volume.
When a marble is dropped in a bucket of water it sinks to the bottom. Is it because the marble weighs more than an equivalent volume of the water or the marble has greater mass volume than the water O?
All of the above? You can say the same thing in many ways. All of the following are different ways of saying the same thing, and all are correct: The marble sinks because the marble weighs more that an equivalent volume of water. The marble sinks because its density is greater than the density of water. The marble sinks because it has a greater mass than than same volume of water (and there is gravity/acceleration).
