Explain how you can make plastic sink and steel float?
Look at a ship for example... It is made entirely of steel but it manages to stay afloat. The steel ships are filled with air which causes the average density to be less than water's density (1.00 g/ml). If you had a piece of plastic it would just sink because the density is more than water.
Will atomic number 43 sink or float in water?
For something to be able to float on water, it requires a density lower than water. Water at room temperature has a density of 1 kg / L or 1000 g / dm3Atomic number 43 is the element Technetium. At room temperature Tc has a density of 11 g / dm3.So yes, it will float on water.
How would you know if something would float on water?
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³ and the density of water is 1 g/cm.If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
Does fire float on water?
Many combustible substances (substances that will burn) are lighter (less dense) than water and will float - paper, wood and gasoline are a few examples. When ignited (set on fire), these substances will continue to float, and so will the fire.
How can you predict if an object will sink or float in a fluid?
Based on its density. For example, waters density is 1 g/mL. If something has a density greater than 1 g/mL it will sink in water. If it has a density less than 1g/mL it will float in water.
Can coal float on water?
coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density (; hope this helps you out! coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density.
How do you float silk petals in water?
If the density is under 1 g/cm3 they can float.
Would chloroform float on water?
The density of chloroform, CHCl3, is 1.483 g/cm3 so it would sink and water would float. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3. The solubility of chloroform is less than 1.0 g/ 100 mL
Would 85 g-ml float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
Float
Would 85 g ml float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
Float
Why do yellow bananas float?
because they have a density that is less than water, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL, this is why yellow bananas float in water.
Would Uranus float in water?
No, the density of Uranus is 1.27 g/cm3 (the density of water is 1.00 g/cm3), therefore Uranus would sink. The planet that would float in water is the planet Saturn which has a density of 0.687 g/cm3.
Will float in water?
Anything that is less dense than water (<1 g/mL).
What will float in water?
Anything that is less dense than water (<1 g/mL).
Does platinum float or sink?
This depends what you put it in. If you put platinum in water it will sink. Water has a density of 1 g/mLwhereas platinum has a density of about 21 g/mL. Substances that are more dense than the liquid it is submerged in will sink.
What can float on water?
Any object with a density lower than 1 g/cm3.
Does beryllium sink or float?
The density of beryllium is 1,848 g/cm3, greater than the densiyy of water; beryllium of course don't float on the water.
