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.

Which has greater density wet or dry concrete?
Dry concrete has a greater density than wet concrete because the water content in wet concrete decreases its overall density. When the water in wet concrete evaporates during the curing process, the concrete becomes denser.
Can zinc float in water?
Yes, it does sink in water :). hope it helps you in chemistry :)
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.
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.
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.).
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.
What can you say about the density of a paper clip versus the density water?
Paper clips have a density greater than the density of water.
Can Antimony float in water?
No, the density of antimony is more than six times greater than the density of water so it will sink in 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?
what is the effect of placing an object with a 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.
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.
What is the comparison of density to density of an equal volume of water?
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
