What liquid has a density less than water?
Volatile liquids such as alcohol and ethanol have less density than water. They also evaporate faster than water does.
Is water vapor less dense then water?
There are three states of matter solid, liquid and gas. What determines what state matter is in is how closely the matter's particles are to each other. When water particles are close together, making it dense, it's a solid (ice), when the particles space out a bit, becoming less dense, it becomes a liquid. When the particles space out even more from each other water becomes a gas.
What is the vapour density of equimolar mixture of methane and oxygen?
The vapour density of equimolar mixture of methane and oxygen is 0.0831 lbm/ft3.
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.
Compare the density of water and air?
Air's density is less than that of water. Water's density is almost 800 times greater than air.
What will happen if the density of air become less than that of water vapour?
Clouds cannot swim as they do now
Why do you think ice has a higher density than water vapour?
Because ice is solid and has a heavier weight that cause it to have higher density and as for water vapour, it is gaseous and has lower density due to not having any weight.
Do water vapour has volume?
But of course the vapour of the water have the volume. but it is a less than the water itself goodbye.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
What is the only rock that has less density in water?
The density of an object is constant, therefore, no rock can have less density in water.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
What is the density of a golfball?
The density of golfball is less then density of water
Which has less density a cork or water?
A cork is less denser than water because cork is floating on water so it will have less density than water
How do you know if a compound has a density less than 1 gmL?
If it floats in water, it has a density less than water. Density of water is 1.0 g/mL
What liquid has a density less than water?
Volatile liquids such as alcohol and ethanol have less density than water. They also evaporate faster than water does.

What is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
