Examples for density: Solid - water - noble gas
Copper has a density of 8950 kg/m3 = 8.95 kg/dm3 = 8.95 g/cm3.
Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 = 1000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL.
Helium has a density of 0.1785 kg/m3 = 0.1785 g/L = 0.0001785 kg/dm3 = 0.0001785 kg/L =
0.0001785 g/cm3 = 0.0001785 g/mL. So copper and all metals have a greater density.

Mercury has a density of about 13.53 grams/cm^3
They are both more dense than water, which has a density of 1 gram/ml or 1 gram/cm^3.

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.
If the numerator is bigger than the denominator of your density problem will the object float or sink in water?
If your numerator (the mass of the substance) is larger than the denominator (the volume of the substance), then your object will sink because your ratio will be greater than one. Meaning, your volume isn't great enough to displace the fluid in which it rests. Any density less than 1 g/mL floats; any density greater than 1 g/mL will sink.
An egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt why?
because following the density principle, the density of the egg compared to the density of the tap water is lesser....(the density principle states that an object or substance with lesser density will float on the surface of the substance or object which has the greater density...).....now,,,with salt,,, salt makes the density of the tap water to increase and increases also the salinity of the water making the egg float because the density of the water with salt is now greater than the density of the egg.... An egg will float when the density of the water is greater than the density of the egg. Adding salt increases the density of a salt water solution. Whether the egg floats or sinks depends on the condition of the egg as well as the amount of salt in the water. If an object is LESS dense than the solution that it is in, then it WILL float. If an object is MORE dense than the solution it is in, then it WILL NOT float. An egg is more dense than regular water; therefore, the egg will sink. But when you add salt to the water, you are making the solution more dense. The salt water's density becomes greater to the point that it is more dense than the egg. Because the egg is now LESS dense than the water, it floats.
What has a different shape but the same volume in any container?
In a really general way of answering this (I am not going to put this into context) assuming the substances have the same mass,a substance (X) with a density n greater than a substance (Y), will have a volume that is equal to (X)n-(Y) this means that the object with the same mass, but greater density, would have a volume that is less than the object with the lesser density.
Why is honey thicker than syrup?
has a greater density
How can you make a substance with greater density greater than water float?
if the substance of the element has greater density you can make it float by carving it out so weight over volume of the object is lighter in effective density
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
You can infer very little about the density of the substance. Ships made of steel, with a density much greater than that of water, can float.
What is the only substance that has a greater density as a liquid than a solid?
Water has higher density than ice. That is why ice floats on water.
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.
Did the substances that floated have a density greater than or less than 1?
Assuming they are floating on water, the density of the substance would be LESS than 1.
What is a substance whose matter is more tightly packed than other another substance have a greater density or mass?
Mass
How is density related to floating?
You must compare the densities of the object and whatever substance you are putting it in. If the density of an object is greater than the substance it is in, then the object will not float on the surfaceRead more: Which_law_tells_you_if_a_object_will_float_or_sink
Why liter of water is heavier than liter of ethanol?
The density of water is greater than the density of ethanol. This is partly a result of how tightly packed the molecules of the substance are.
What is meant by the density of a substance?
It means how much a standard volume of a substance weighs - or more precisely, how much mass it has. If a liter of one substance has more mass than a liter of another substance, the first substance is said to have greater density. Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
If the numerator is bigger than the denominator of your density problem will the object float or sink in water?
If your numerator (the mass of the substance) is larger than the denominator (the volume of the substance), then your object will sink because your ratio will be greater than one. Meaning, your volume isn't great enough to displace the fluid in which it rests. Any density less than 1 g/mL floats; any density greater than 1 g/mL will sink.
What does the density have to be greater than for an object to float?
It has to be greater than the density of the fluid in which it is to be floated.
Is the density of 8 mL of water greater than equal to or smaller than the density of 4 mL of water?
It depends upon the temperatures and purity of the two quantities of water. If they are both at the same temperature and both have the same purity, they will both have the same density as density does not depend upon the volume, but the substance itself. If they are at different temperatures, or have different purities, then they will have different densities, but which would be greater would depends upon which has which temperature and which purity.
