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.
How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
Can Antimony float in water?
No, the density of antimony is more than six times greater than the density of water so it will sink in water.
Is the density of rubber stopper is denser than the density of water?
No, the density of a rubber stopper is less than the density of water. Rubber has a lower density compared to water, so a rubber stopper would float on water.
What are the four elements smaller than uranium?
All the elements with the atomic number under 92 has atomic weights smaller than uranium.
Would white beans float on water?
Because they have a smaller density than water
Which of the jovian planets has a density smaller than water?
I'm pretty sure Saturn would float in water.
Is density of 2 mL of water smaller of larger than 1 mL of water?
The density of any substance remains the sameirrespective of its volume.
Why do ships float when stones sink?
Things that float have a smaller density than water and things that sink have a larger density than water. Because a stone is heavy for its size it sinks but although a ship is heavier its mass is spread out over a larger area so its density is smaller and therefore it floats.
A 7.40 cm3 sample of mercury has a mass of 102 g will it float in water?
No, the sample of mercury will sink in water because the density of mercury (13.6 g/cm3) is higher than the density of water (1 g/cm3), indicating that mercury is denser than water and will not float.
Does lead float or sink in water?
Lead sinks in water due to its high density, which is greater than the density of water. This causes it to displace a smaller volume of water compared to its own volume, resulting in it sinking.
What is in an egg that makes it floats?
Increasing the air cell (in time, for unfresh eggs) of the eggs lead to floating in water, because the density of the egg become smaller than the density of water.
What is the comparison of density to density of an equal volume of water?
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
Why does a kilogram of lead occupy a much smaller volume than a kilogram of water?
lead has much higher density
Which planets in the solar system have an average density less than that of water?
It is said that if you could find an ocean on Earth large enough to accommodate it, Saturn would float. That is, Saturn's average density is less than the density of water. Turns out it's the only planet with an average density less than 1.000, that is, less than the density of water.
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.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
