What else can I help you with?
What two elements can float on water?
Two elements that can float on water are lithium and potassium. These elements have a lower density than water, which allows them to float on its surface.
Which metals float on water?
Lithium, sodium, and potassium all float on water. Sodium and lithium both react with the water to give off hydrogen gas - they look a bit like fizzies when they do it. They can give off enough heat to light the gas, so they burn as they float around if there is enough oxygen to support a flame. I imagine potassium would act the same way, but I have never seen it personally. Beryllium, the lightest element in the alkaline earth group, is more dense that water, and would not float.
Which of the alkali floats on water?
The three alkalis that float on water are Lithium, Sodium and Potassium. This is because they are much denser that water. As shown this is the density of each substance. 0.534 - Li 0.968 - Na 0.890 - K 1.000 - Water Glad i could help- Sheema :]x
Does Anorthite sink or float in water?
It will float. Its a rock. It actually depends on how much water you have, if you you tried float it in the ocean, it would obviously sink. But if you tried to float it on a gladd or bowl or water, it would float,
Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
Which object will sink in simple water and float in salty water?
A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water Believe it or not bowling balls that are denser than water float!
Would sea water float on water?
No.
What gas would potassium in water produce?
Potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).
Are there any metals that float on water?
Iron, copper, gold, aluminum, brass, titanium, zinc. I believe all metals are heavier than water but some thin sheets of metal such as Aluminum can float due to its bouyancy. You can probably cut anything into small enough size such that it would float. BTW, I can make steel float----in liquid lead.
Would a book float on water?
no
Would you float better in salt or fresh water?
You float better in saltwater. For instance, the Dead Sea is so salty that you cannot sink or even swim in it. You can only float on top. It does not feel wet, but more like warm, runny honey. It is extremely bitter if you are unlucky enough to taste the Potassium-heavy water. Strangely, Dead Sea does not have a salty taste.
What acid would you add to potassium hydroxide to make potassium chloride and water?
To make potassium chloride and water from potassium hydroxide, you would add hydrochloric acid (HCl). The reaction would be: KOH + HCl → KCl + H2O
