The ice ball or brick floats in water tank Then if the ice melts what will happend?
water level will remain the same
What is unusual about the density of ice?
It is less than the density of water, so that it floats
How is the density of ice unusual?
It is less than the density of water, so that it floats.
Ice floats on a lake This characteristic of water is responsible for?
preventing a lake from freezing solid (correct answer)
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
Why ice floats in in water?
The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.
Why iron bob floats in mercury?
the iron bob floats in Mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
Which liquids will an ice cube floats?
ice cubes floats in the water, because it is in the liquid form
Why ice floats on water and does not sink?
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats.
Does lead float or sink in liquid mercury?
Lead floats in mercury.
If iron floats in Mercury what does that mean?
It means that mercury is denser than iron.
When does ice float in water?
Ice floats in water whenever you PUT ice in water, That's so simple. Whenever you put ice in water it floats ALL THE TIME!
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
Why ice floats on the surface of earth?
Because ICE is less dense than water, it is the only solid which floats on its equivalent liquid.
Why iron ball floats on mercury?
Mercury is more dense than iron, causing it to float on the surface of mercury.
How does ice floats on water?
It is less dense than water, therefore it floats on water.
