Why does the level of kerosene in a glass decrease when an ice cube kept in it melts?

Ice expands as it freezes, so it takes up more volume than an equal mass of water. Hence when the ice melts in the kerosene, the liquid water takes up less volume, so the level of the kerosene drops.

A piece of ice is dropped in a beaker containing kerosene when ice melts level of kerosene will?
As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?
increases
A glass full of water contain ice cubes floating in it .What will happen to the water level when ice melts?
When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.
What will happen if ice in kept in glass of water does the level of water will rise or not?
yes, becuse when ice melts it becoms water.Answer:When ice is added to a glass of water the level will rise. After that, as the ice melts the level will decline. When water freezes it expands, so when it thaws back to a liquid it shrinks.
When all ice in a glass of water melts the level of water in the glass?
Stays the same (assuming that all the ice was floating to begin with).
What will happen to the water level when an ice cube in a glass of water melts?
The water level lowers. See the Related Question below for additional info.
Does glass melts in water?
no
When a solid melts does the number of atoms decrease?
No, it is not correct.
What degrees does glass melt at?
The temperature at which glass melts is highly dependable upon it's chemical composition but average glass melts between 1400 and 1600 degrees Celsius.
Beverage glass is filled to the brim with ice cold water 0C and ice cubes Some of the ice cubes are floating above the water level When the ice melts the water in the glass will?
When all the ice melts (it will take a while with the water at 0C), the water level in the glass will not be in any danger of overflowing the container because water is one of those rare liquids that expands when it freezes. (This is why a closed glass container of water put into a freezer will break.) This means that it contracts as it melts.The specific water level of the glass will depend on how much ice was floating above the water level, but it won't be in any danger of overflowing. As a matter of fact, the water level will actually be lower than the rim of the glass.
How come rubber and glass don't melt?
Glass melts all the time.
When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
