You can - if you push it down! LOL, but no because the density of water decreases when energy is took away unlike most substances. When energy is being took away it gets denser and denser until it hits 4 degrees celcius. Then the density starts to decrease again. This a miracle of nature because if water did not do this fish would die every winter since the water would not only be at the top.
---An ice cube of deuterium oxide (containing a heavier isotope of hydrogen) sinks in water [ http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/JCESOFT/CCA/CCA2/MAIN/ICECUBE/CD2R1.HTM ]
well what if the water was really hot making it less dense
What else can I help you with?
Why do ice cubes sink but when you drink the water they rise to the top?
Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.
Do ice cubes in water float or sink?
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
What if ice cubes are put in kerosene?
If ice cubes are put in kerosene, the ice will melt due to the higher temperature of the kerosene. Kerosene has a lower freezing point than water, so it will not freeze the water in the ice cubes. The ice will eventually melt and mix with the kerosene, but they will not chemically react with each other.
Why do ice cubes float to the top of glass of water?
Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. The solid water molecules in ice are spaced farther apart than the molecules in liquid water, causing the ice to be less dense. This difference in density allows the ice cubes to float on the surface of the water rather than sink.
Are ice cubes water in liquid state?
Ice cubes are solid water.
What melts faster water ice cubes or soda ice cubes?
Water :)
Why do some ice cubes float and some sink?
Ice cubes float in water because ice is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it expands and forms a crystalline structure that is less compact than when it is a liquid, leading to its ability to float. If an ice cube sinks, it could be due to air bubbles trapped inside the ice during freezing, which reduce its overall density.
Do ice cubes float higher in alcohol?
Yes, ice cubes will float higher in alcohol compared to water because alcohol is less dense than water. This causes the ice cubes to displace more liquid when placed in alcohol, leading them to float higher.
Why does ice cubes float on top of water?
Ice cubes are less dense than water.
Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?
If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.
Do salt water ice cubes take longer to melt than fresh water ice cubes?
Yes, salt water ice cubes melt more slowly than fresh water ice cubes because the addition of salt lowers the freezing point of water, requiring more energy to melt. This makes the salt water ice cubes colder and more resistant to melting.
The rate of ice cubes melting in water?
The rate at which ice cubes melt in water depends on factors such as the temperature of the water, the size and shape of the ice cubes, and the amount of agitation in the water. Generally, smaller ice cubes will melt faster than larger ones due to their increased surface area exposed to the water. Warmer water will also cause ice cubes to melt more quickly compared to colder water.
