more dense substances sink, less dense substances float. oil will not sink in water, it will float, it is less dense.
Quicksand is made of wet, mucky sand. It is usually found in jungles, where the water from the soil gets into deep sand. It then gets the sand overly saturated, so when you step in it, you sink as if your pool had just a little sand in it. There is more water than sand, so you sink like in water, not like in sand.
No. Sand sinks in water because sand is more dense than water, not the other way around.
While the stirring is vigorous, the water will become cloudy with the sand. Once stirring ceases, the heavier sand grains will quickly sink to the bottom of the vessel. Finer sand (dust like) particles may remain suspended for some time, but if left to settle long enough, the water should eventually appear clear.
You can separate salt and sand from water by performing a simple filtration. First, pour the salt and sand mixture through a filter paper to trap the solid particles. Then, evaporate the water from the filtrate to recover the dissolved salt, leaving the sand behind.
That will depend on the size of the styrofoam pieces. If they are significantly larger than the sand, you merely pick them out by hand. If not, then a sieve can be used assuming the sand will go thru the sieve and the styrofoam will be too large to pass through. You need to find a sieve with the right size holes. Another way is to add acetone and the styrofoam will dissolve, and the sand will stay behind, but this technique doesn't give you the styrofoam back again.
Maple syrup will sink but water is unable to sink because it is water.
The sand puts weight on it and it makes in sink.
No, sand will be suspended in the water to form a solution.
Maple syrup will sink in water because its density is greater than the density of water, which is 1 g/cm³. Objects with a density higher than the surrounding fluid will sink in that fluid.
Essentially, sand is more dense and has more mass, thus it sinks. durr. hi
Sand has a higher density than water, so it sinks to the bottom when placed in water due to gravity pulling it down. The sand particles are heavier and more compact than water molecules, causing them to settle at the bottom.
Nothing - sand and water do not react because sand is relatively inert. The sand will sink to the bottom of the container because it is significantly heavier than the water.
Let it sit. Sand is more dense than water, and will sink to the bottom of the solution.
The salt will dissolve in the water, and make the water salty. The sand won't be dissolved, and the sand will sink to the bottom of the container.
Quicksand is a mixture of sand, water, and clay that forms a substance with a lower viscosity than regular sand, causing objects or people to sink deeper in it. The increased water content in quicksand reduces the friction between sand particles, making it easier to sink in.
