A gas will always have a lower density than its corresponding solid or liquid, and thus could not sink in its own liquid.

Gasses can, of course, be absorbed/dissolved into liquids.

One of the least dense liquids would be liquid hydrogen with a density of about 67.8 kg/m3

One of the densest gasses (at 1 ATM) is Radon Gas at about 9.73 kg/m3. Thus, it would still float in liquid hydrogen at 1 ATM.

However, the density of gasses is a function of the pressure and temperature, so at extreme pressures, Radon gas would likely sink in liquid hydrogen.

The density of the atmosphere at the surface of Venus is about 67 kg/m3, and thus it might sink in liquid hydrogen (ignoring, of course, the temperature and pressure differences).

Why do cars sink in sand?

cars sink i sands because the sand is a soft particular thing it's like the same thing when your car sink in the mud.


Will a gas with a vapor density of 1.2 float or sink in air?

A gas with a vapor density less than 1 will float in air, while a gas with a vapor density greater than 1 will sink. Since the vapor density of the gas is 1.2, it will sink in air.


What determines if a balloon filled with a gas will rise or sink in the air?

A balloon filled with a gas will rise or sink depending on the density of the gas inside compared to the surrounding air. If the gas inside is less dense than the surrounding air, the balloon will rise. If the gas inside is more dense, the balloon will sink.


Why does peroxide bubble in my sink?

When peroxide comes into contact with organic material like food particles or bacteria in your sink, it breaks down and releases oxygen gas. This gas forms bubbles, causing the peroxide to bubble in your sink.

Can Chlorine sink or float?

Chlorine is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, so it cannot sink or float. It is typically stored and transported in tanks as a compressed gas.


Does CO2 sink in the air?

No, carbon dioxide (CO2) does not sink in the air. It is a gas that is evenly distributed throughout the atmosphere.


Why is carbin dioxide a bad thing to make?

Carbon dioxide is not necessarily a "bad" thing to make but when released into the atmosphere in excess of the biosphere's ability to "sink" it, is thought to contribute to global warming because it is a rather potent greenhouse gas.


Is spitting in a sink prohibited?

In different countries, different thing are prohibited. No where can I find spitting in a sink to be a negative thing, unless done to insult a ethnic or racial group. So go right ahead and spit in a sink.


Why does cooler rock sink?

Because thing that are denser sink. Therefore, cooler rock sinks because it is denser.


Trying to make mothballs dance in a bicarb-vinegar mixture but why won't they sink?

the vinegar reacts with the bicarb n it creates gas bubbles which make the mothmalls 'dance' and not sink as the gas pushes them up. if tried with something heavier it would sink though
