The accumulated salts in seawater make the seawater much more dense than fresh water One of the characteristics of salt water is that it has?
A lower freezing point than fresh water
What is more dense sea water or air?
Seawater is more dense than air. That is why the air rests on top of the seawater and not the other way around.
What is the true about an object that floats in water?
It is lighter than water
Why does diesel float on water?
Because it is lighter than water.
What is an object that floats in water?
something lighter than water
How is a log able to float in a river?
It is lighter than water.
Why is it easier to swim in seawater than in river water?
It is easier to float, in any case, because salt water has a greater density.
A man first swims in seawater then in river water.Compare the weight of seawater and the riverwater displaced by him?
We know that the density of the sea water is more than the density of the river water. So, the weight of displaced sea water is more than the weight of displaced river water. This weight gives the upward Buoyant force to the swimmer. Thus, the apparent weight of the swimmer is less in the sea water. Hence he finds it easier to swim in the sea water.
Where would you find the lowest density in seawater?
Answer 1) At the Surface. Answer 2) I disagree with the above answer. For practical purposes water is not compressible. Therefore the density is the same all over. The difference in density at the surface and at the bottom is so small that it is negligible. However, fresh water is less dense than seawater, since the salts dissolved in the seawater makes it more dense. For that reason, if you consider seawater near the mouth of a river, that water will be less dense than the seawater in general.
Why sea water has a higher hydrometer reading than that of freshwater?
Seawater dissolves more than fresh water because of the salinity in the water.
Why seawater density is greater than river water density?
Sea water contains much more dissolved material like salt (The Pacific has more than 33 g NaCl per liter) and other stuff than river water does (<0.5 g/L).
Is Saturn lighter or heavier than water?
it is lighter than water.
Why would it be better to use the muddy puddle water than the seawater?
It is better to use the muddy puddle water than the seawater because of the salt
If freshwater and seawater meet at the mouth of a river which one sinks and why?
Seawater is more dense than freshwater. Therefore the seawater would sink lower than the freshwater. Ships do indeed stay higher in seawater because of the higher density or specific gravity of seawater over freshwater
The accumulated salts in seawater make the seawater much more dense than fresh water One of the characteristics of salt water is that it has?
A lower freezing point than fresh water
Which do you think is denser seawater or fresh water?
Seawater because it contains salt which makes the water more dense than water which does not contain salt.
Why would seawater be a better conductor of electricity than river water?
Water is actually a weak insulator and does not transmit current well unless it has ions in it, like saltwater does. Seaweeds are limited in their abilities to conduct electricity per se, but as they come from saltwater, the salts still present on their "leaves" conduct relatively well.
