I believe so.

If you had glass pieces and plastic pieces, and you threw them all in water,

the plastic would float while the glas would sink.

I hope this helped.

What is less dense glass or water?

Generally, glass is more dense than water. (There are some types of glass which are less dense.) You can demonstrate this by gently placing a glass full of water in the sink or tub; the glass will sink, indicating that glass is more dense than water. If the glass were to float, we would know that the glass were less dense. Try this with plastic cup; the plastic is normally less dense, and will float.


Would a marble or a plastic dice sink faster in water?

A plastic dice would likely sink faster in water than a marble. This is because plastic is denser than water, while marbles are often made of glass which is less dense than water.


Is glass more dense than wood?

Glass is generally more dense than wood. The density of glass typically ranges from 2.2 to 2.8 g/cm³, while the density of wood ranges from 0.3 to 1.0 g/cm³ depending on the type of wood. Therefore, in most cases, glass is indeed more dense than wood.


Can plastic cup be replaced by glass beaker in determination of heat of solution?

Yes, a glass beaker can typically be used as a substitute for a plastic cup in the determination of heat of solution. Glass is generally a better material as it is more chemically inert and can withstand higher temperatures than plastic, making it more suitable for certain experiments involving heat. Make sure to check that the glass beaker is heat-resistant and appropriate for the experiment.


Is glass heavier than 18ct gold?

No, 18ct gold is denser and heavier than glass. Glass is a lightweight material, while gold is a dense metal.

Is a plastic cup lighter than a glass cup?

Plastic is less dense than glass, so normally a plastic cup is considerably lighter than a glass cup, although in theory a very small glass cup could weigh less than a very large plastic cup.


Is iron more dense than plastic?

Yes. Iron is more dense than plastic because its particles are closer together.


Is plexiglass lighter than glass?

Yes. Plexiglass is a plastic, whereas glass is comprised mainly of silicas. Glass is about twice as dense as plexiglass, so a sheet of plexiglass is lighter than a sheet of glass the same size.


Why is a glass jug better than a plastic jug when measuring water?

Water "wets" plastic more than glass, giving a lower reading


Would a marble or a plastic dice sink faster in water?

A plastic dice would likely sink faster in water than a marble. This is because plastic is denser than water, while marbles are often made of glass which is less dense than water.


Does plastic or glass weigh more?

well it depends on how many pounds of each but they both weigh the same


Is diamond more dense than glass?

Diamonds are denser and harder than glass, as diamonds can score glass - as in a diamond glass-cutter.


What is more dense a penny or a toothpick?

A penny is more dense than a wooden toothpick. This can be easily tested by placing both in a glass of water.


Does plastic sink or float in oil?

A plastic always sink in oil like a plastic bottle will always float in oil.


What are the reasons why you still use plastic bottles?

plastic is cheaper than some other materials and it keeps the fluid in it fresh


Is glass a better conductor of heat than plastic?

Glass is generally a better conductor of heat than plastic, as it has a higher thermal conductivity. This means that heat can transfer through glass more easily and quickly than through plastic materials.
