No. Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) corresponds to 273 K (0° Celsius) and 1 atm (1.0132501 bar).

The critical point of methane is 190.6 K (−82.6 °C) and 46 bar so to get ANY liquid methane, you have to cool it below −82.6 °C and probably put it under pressure - the colder you get it, the less pressure required to liquefy it.

yes it can but the temp. of the methane must be below -162 C or -260 F

i guess the reason is that it has a substitutional reaction due to its saturated property .....

hmmm this is tough but if you add fire it expldes and if u add cold nothing happens but i still wouldn't try something crazy like freezing and unfreezing it with liquid nitrogen

No. In the vast majority of substances the solid state is denser than the liquid state.

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.

Do icecubes float?

Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.


Why does ice float in liquid A and sink in liquid B?

because liquid A is viscous then liquid B


Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?

No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.

no ice floats on water


Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?

AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).


In which liquids will an ice cube float?

in water or anything which is denser than ice


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 is methane ice?

Methane ice is frozen methane. An ice made of methane (CH4) instead of water (H2O). The term methane ice could also refer to methane clathrate, which is an ice composed of both methane and water.


Is there water on saturns moon titan?

Yes, but not liquid water. The surface of Titan is made mostly of ice. It also has lakes and rivers of liquid methane.
