An unpeeled orange floats in water but a peeled orange sinks why?
The density of water is 1. With their peel on, the orange's density is less than 1. However, without the peel, the orange's density is greater than 1. Density > 1 (Float) Density < 1 (Sink) Mass ÷ Volume = Density Mass ÷ Density = Volume Density × Volume = Mass
Do peeled oranges float better than unpeeled oranges?
Oranges float because with their peel on, their density is less than 1. The density of water is 1, and anything with a density less than 1 will float. However, if the peel is removed, the density will be more than 1, and the orange will sink. The formula for finding density is: Mass ÷ Volume=Density
Why do peeled oranges sink but unpeeled oranges don't sink?
I'm not sure I've ever tried this experiment, but taking the given data at face value: I'd assume it's because the density of the peel is very low, enough to offset the slightly-greater-than-water average density of the inside of the orange.
Where can you find canned peeled apricots?
I have been traveling to South Africa for many years. I have always been able to buy canned peeled apricots there. They are smaller, firmer and more tart than the ones you find here in the USA and so much better since they are peeled! I was in South Africa last month and the ones I bought were Del Monte brand. Sure wish I could get the same ones here. So much better than the mushy, unpeeled ones here.
Why is part of the inside of your orange brown?
The inside of an orange should be a brighter light orange than the peel. If an orange is bad the color inside when peeled could show a brown color. The orange can not poison a person, and is still safe to eat. The taste may be bitter because the fruit is not fresh.
