What would happen if you have 2 liquids with different densities in the same container?
the less dense liquid will float to the top and the more dense liquid will drift to the bottom
An object that does not sink in water?
The ability to float in liquids is called buoancy. It is regularly demonstrated by wood, which is less-dense than water, and will float (in most cases). If an object is too dense, or its weight is not distributed over a large area, then it will sink.
Is gas dense?
Gas is not dense, solids should be dense, liquids are dense, but not as much as solids.
Is water the least dense than all the liquids?
No. Several liquids, including gasoline, oil and alcohol, are less dense.
Why doesn't a rock float?
its to dense
Does play doh float?
Playdoh can float depending on how dense it is. It also depends on what your floating it on. If you float it on water than it has to be less dense than the water, same with other liquids.
What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
What layer floats?
The less dense layer of two immiscible liquids will float on the denser layer.
What happens if you pour together liquids that the diffrrent dnesitices?
the less dense liquid will float on the denser liquid
Why can eggs float in salt water and not in other liquids?
because of the density i the water, i think?
Would water or liquid mercury float?
Water floats when it is turned into ice, because in this form it is less dense (it crystallizes, and the structure expands). It also can float in combinations of liquids, for example, it is less dense than liquid mercury, but more dense than oil, so it would 'float' on the mercury. Liquid mercury is very dense, and doesn't usually float on things.
What would happen if you have 2 liquids with different densities in the same container?
the less dense liquid will float to the top and the more dense liquid will drift to the bottom
What liquids don't make ice float?
A liquid that is less dense than ice. Pure alcohol is 70% of the density of water- and ice would not float in it.
What liquids can float on top of water?
Anything can float in different liquids as long as the object's density is less than that of the liquid's density.
Why does some matter sink and others float?
I am not sure, but matter that is less dense usually gets pushed up, specially liquids.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
Why can eggs float in water with sugar?
because the water is dense and saturated so the egg sits on top of the denseness
