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:

How does the density of water in its solid state compare to that of other solid materials?

The density of water in its solid state, which is ice, is lower than that of most other solid materials. This is why ice floats on water.


Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?

In general, liquids have lower densities than solids. This is because particles in a liquid are less compactly arranged compared to those in a solid, leading to a lower density. However, there are exceptions, such as ice having a lower density than 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.


What is the density of water in the solid state compared to that in the liquid state?

The density of water in the solid state (ice) is lower than in the liquid state. This is due to the unique structure of ice, where water molecules form a crystalline lattice with more space between them compared to the closely packed molecules in liquid water. This expansion upon freezing is why ice floats on water.


Why is solid water or less dense than liquid water?

This occurs because of the structure of solid water, which is ice. When water solidifies, the water particles make the shape of a hexagon, and it locks in place. This makes it have more space between particles, and that makes it less dense. Since density is mass divided by volume, the volume of ice is greater than liquid water, but the mass stays the same.

How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?

Ice is less dense than liquid water.


What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?

If the density of a solid substance is more than that of a liquid, the solid substance will sink in the liquid. This is because objects with higher density will displace a volume of liquid that has a lower density, causing the solid to sink to the bottom.


How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?

Ice is less dense than liquid water.


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.


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. :)


A solid is 40 Newton when immersed totally in a liquid of relative density 0.8. calculate the weight when immersed in water?

The buoyant force acting on the solid in the liquid is 40 N, which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. The weight of the solid in water can be calculated by using the relative densities of water and the liquid (0.8) in the relation: weight in water = weight in liquid * (relative density of liquid / relative density of water).


What is the only solid that floats in its liquid?

The only solid that floats in its liquid is ice. This occurs because the density of ice is lower than the density of liquid water, allowing it to float on the surface.

How do you find relative density of liquid?

To find the relative density of a liquid, you need to compare its density to the density of water. The formula for relative density is the density of the liquid divided by the density of water at a specific temperature. By measuring the mass of a given volume of the liquid and comparing it to the mass of an equal volume of water, you can calculate the relative density.


Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?

In general, liquids have lower densities than solids. This is because particles in a liquid are less compactly arranged compared to those in a solid, leading to a lower density. However, there are exceptions, such as ice having a lower density than liquid water.


Why is ice solid weird?

You think probable to the density, lower than the density of liquid water.


Will density of a liquid increase if parts of the solid sticks out of the water?

No. Density is an intrinsic property and does not depend on the amount or size of the sample. If you are referring to finding the volume of an irregular solid by water displacement, then you will get a very large experimental error if the solid sticks out of the water. The amount of water added to the graduated cylinder initially, must be enough to completely cover the solid, before you place the solid in the cylinder.
