The density of ice is greater than that of water true or false?

False. Ice is *less* dense than water. If it weren't, water would freeze from the bottom up, killing all the fish etc during the winter. Water contracts as it is gets colder, but at the moment it freezes, crystals form. These are hard bonds that push the molecules farther apart, thinning the density of the water, and making ice remarkably strong. A few inches of ice can support the weight of a person.

How does density affect buoyancy?
Ignoring shapes (using cubes), density (mass/volume) greater than "water" means it sinks. The floating object displaces its weight of the buoyant "object" (water, etc.)when it floats, but displaces its volume when it sinks.
Can zinc float in water?
Yes, it does sink in water :). hope it helps you in chemistry :)
Is pebble more dense than water?
Milk is a mixture of various milkfats and other things in water. As such, it makes sense that the density of milk is greater than that of water. However, the density of fat is less than water. The density of milk is not fixed and can vary from milk processor to milk processor; form cow to cow. The density of milk is very similar to that of water. Density of water = 1.0 g/mL Density of milk = 1.03 g/mL If you had a kilogram (2.2 lb) of each of them, the volume of milk would be about half a teaspoon more. That is very close to the same density. With a 1000 kg (450 lb) the difference in volume is about 30 litres/liters (~8 gal.).
Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some objects will float on water as the density of the object is less than that of water. Conversely, if an object is more dense than the density of water, then it will sink.
Why is gold more dense than water?
There are two reasons why gold is more dense than water. First, the individual atoms of gold are tremendously heavier than the two types of atoms (hydrogen and oxygen) which make up the water molecule. Secondly, the metallic bond that makes gold into a solid substance is stronger than the bonds that hold water together as a liquid, and a stronger bond holds atoms together more closely, and hence more densely.
What is an object with a greater density than water will float in water is it true or false?
False
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
What density does an object have to have to sink in water?
A density greater than that of water (which varies with temperature).
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
A ship is able to float on water because its density is greater than that of the water?
The statement is false. The word "greater" must be replaced with the word "less" in order to make the statement true.
What is the effect of placing an object with greater density than water in a bucket of water?

Is it true the density of water is 1.36 times greater than the density of water?
No.
What is the density of head?
Slightly greater than the density of water.
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
Why saltish water is lighter than ordinary water?
The density of salted water is greater than the density of pure water !
Why is the density of ocean water greater than tap water?
because salt is higher density than water and dissolves in the water, increasing density
