Calcium metal is more dense than water. If you had a block of calcium and dropped it in a container of water, it would sink. Note! Calcium reacts with water! Calcium metal is stored in a container beneath kerosene or another liquid to isolate the metal from air. Calcium will chemically react with the moisture in air and will thus be decomposed.

Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
What is less dense water basalt iron or granite?
Water is less dense than any of the other materials listed.In order of density from least to highest:Water (least dense)GraniteBasaltIron (most dense)
How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
You can determine whether a solid substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the substance is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the substance is more dense. If the density of the substance is less than the density of water, then the substance is less dense.
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.
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
Does dense water sink or rise in comparison to less dense water?
Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.
Why does calcium float on water?
Calcium has a lower density than water, which causes it to float. This is due to the difference in the arrangement of atoms in calcium compared to water, allowing it to displace water and come to the surface.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
Is chalk less dense than salty water?
No, chalk is denser than salty water. Chalk is a solid mineral composed of calcium carbonate, while salty water is a liquid mixture of water and dissolved salt. The density of chalk is greater than that of salty water, causing chalk to sink in salty water.
What is least dense cork or lead?
Cork is less dense than water because it floats. Both glass and Mercury (a metal) are denser than water.
What object is less dense than water?
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Can you make oil less dense than water?
Oil IS already less dense than water.
What fruit is less dense than water?
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
