The density of every liquid is not only different, but dependent upon pressure and temperature. As a result, the densities of liquids can only be compared directly, not in general terms. For a list of many different densities, go to:

∙ 9y agowater expands when it freezes, unlike most substances, so the ice is less dense. it is the same amount of mass as it started with(water), but it has more volume than it started with. Archimedes principle says that in order to float, an object must way less than the amount of water displaced by its volume. ice has more volume than water. that is why ice floats to the top of your drink, or glaciers are at the top of the ocean at the extreme north/south

∙ 9y agoStrange as it may seem, liquid water is more dense than ice. That's why ice cubes
float in your drink, and icebergs float in the ocean.
It's also the reason why a frozen lake or pond is able to thaw. If ice were more dense,
then only the top of the frozen lake could ever thaw, because the ice lower down could
never float up to the surface to be melted by the sun.
Pretty lucky for human life on earth, eh ? Makes you think.// The reason liquid water is denser than frozen water is: There is air in ice

Sinkers have densities higher than that of water.

How do liquid and solid volumes compare?
water
Which has higher density carbon dioxide or water?
According to Wikipedia:In the liquid phase:The density of liquid water is 1,000 kg/m3 at 1 atm and 4 °C.The density of liquid CO2 is 770 kg/m3 at 56 atm and 20 °C.In the solid phaseThe density of solid water is 917 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −10 °C.The density of solid CO2 is 1,562 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −78.5 °C.So, liquid water is more dense than liquid CO2; solid CO2 is more dense than solid water; and solid CO2 is more dense than liquid water - which is why dry ice chunks sink to the bottom of a bowl of water.
What is the density of water in the solid state compared to that in the liquid state?
Ice has about 91.5% of the density of water. It floats because it is less dense than water.
How do compare the volume of sugar solution and pure water?
The properties of sugar and water alone is a liquid and a solid. The properties of sugar-water solution is a liquid.
How much density does water contain?
water doesnt really contain density, but depending on its state (solid, gas, etc) it has a density. to get the density you would take the mass and divide it by the volume. usually, liquid water has a density of 1 kg/L
How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How do liquid and solid volumes compare?
water
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
Compare a solid with a liquid and a gas?
Water can be a solid in the form of ice, a gas in the form of steam or simply liquid water.
Which has higher density carbon dioxide or water?
According to Wikipedia:In the liquid phase:The density of liquid water is 1,000 kg/m3 at 1 atm and 4 °C.The density of liquid CO2 is 770 kg/m3 at 56 atm and 20 °C.In the solid phaseThe density of solid water is 917 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −10 °C.The density of solid CO2 is 1,562 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −78.5 °C.So, liquid water is more dense than liquid CO2; solid CO2 is more dense than solid water; and solid CO2 is more dense than liquid water - which is why dry ice chunks sink to the bottom of a bowl of water.
How is density of matter affected by the state of matter?
Density: Solid > Liquid > Gas most of the times However, in some cases like water: Liquid > Solid > Gas
Why is ice solid weird?
You think probable to the density, lower than the density of liquid water.
Which has greater density liquid water or frozen water?
Solid water has greater density than liquid water in general, assuming there is not much dissolved oxygen to cause voids. A solid will always be more dense than a liquid, if it freezes in a manner that does not allow for voids.
Compare freezing and deposition?
Freezing - water moving from a liquid to a solid state.Deposition - water moving from a vapor to a solid state.
When comparing the density of a solid or liquid to he density of water th ratio is called?
This is called specific gravity.
