Will an ice cube float higher in water or in Mercury?

An ice cube would float in any type of liquid. It would float higher in mercury than water because mercury is denser.

A chunk of ice will float higher in water than an ice cube only if the ice chunk is larger than the ice cube.

The ice cube will float higher in water, because alcoholic beverages have a lower viscosity, or internal resistance. This decreases the "thickness" of the liquid and causes less buoyancy.

Ice cubes do float on water.

They would float the same unless one is different sized than the other; although the ice would melt in warm water; therefore getting smaller. Another answer: The more dense the liquid, the higher the ice(solid) will float. Cold water is more dense than warm water, so the cube will float higher in colder water than warm.

The ice cube will float higher in sea water than it will in pure water (more of it will be above the water level). This is because the salt in sea water makes it more dense than pure water, meaning that less water must be displaced to account for the mass of the ice.

Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.

This aluminium cube doesn't float on water.

Whether things float or sink this depend only on the density , the density of the salt water is aprox. 1030 kilogram per meter cube so if you but things have density less than that they will float , things with higher density sink.

Firstly there is no such thing as floating higher; something either floats or it doesn't. Buoyancy (pronounced boy-an-see) on the other hand, describes the ability or tendency of an object to float in a liquid. Objects float in a liquid when they are less dense than the liquid. For example an ice cube will float in both water and corn syrup because it is less dense than both. The ice cube will have greater buoyancy in corn syrup because corn syrup is more dense than water.

Its density is greater than its buoyancy.

It floats. Try it and you'll see

in water or anything which is denser than ice

Water has a higher temperature.

I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice

The density of ice is less than water, thus it floats.

ice cube floats in water because it is dense and heavy if u compare water to alcohol then an ice cube will sink in the alcohol because alcohol is less dense which means its light.

Yes. That's why ice cubes float in water.

if you were to add water an ice cube an olive oil the water would be on the bottom and the oil would be on top and the ice cube wuld float inside of the olive oil.

Ice does not float in diesel. I had a container with diesel and water. I dropped an ice cube into the container and it sinks until it reaches the boundary layer with the water.

it depends what the cube is made out of it depends what the cube is made out of

It depends if the ice cube your talking about have the bigger density than the water which is 1.00G/ML then it will sink .... TO get the density of the cube u have u have to divide the mass over the volume of the cube..

icebergs float because they are the same as a cube of ice in a drink but bigger icebergs float because they are the same as a cube of ice in a drink but bigger icebergs float because they are the same as a cube of ice in a drink but bigger

Unlike most things, when water freezes it expands, and becomes less dense than water.

If u mean in water, no... 1cm cube of water is 1g so a dice 1cm an d is 2g will not float... DENSITY! (I'm still in year 7 XD)
