H bonds present between the h2o molecules creates surface tension greater than that present in other liquids.

Do aluminum blocks float?

Depends on what they're dropped into. Water - no. But drop them into something that's denser than aluminium and they will float.


Will ice sink or float in ethanol?

Ice will float in ethanol because ice is less dense than ethanol. The density of ice is about 0.92 g/cm3, while the density of ethanol is about 0.79 g/cm3. This difference in density causes ice to float in ethanol.


Why the ice will float in 5 kg ethanol than the 1 kg water?

Ice will float in ethanol because ethanol has a lower density compared to water. When ice is placed in ethanol, the difference in density causes the ice to be less dense, and therefore float. This is different from water, where the ice is denser than the liquid water and sinks.


When is a float no longer a float?

When it sinks.


How does ice float on top of water?

Ice is less dense than water so it floats. ex. ice is more dense than ethanol so it sinks.

Does aluminum sink or float in water and why?

Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density than the aluminum.
