Firstly there is no such thing as floating higher; something either floats or it doesn't. Buoyancy (pronounced boy-an-see) on the other hand, describes the ability or tendency of an object to float in a liquid.

Objects float in a liquid when they are less dense than the liquid. For example an ice cube will float in both water and corn syrup because it is less dense than both. The ice cube will have greater buoyancy in corn syrup because corn syrup is more dense than water.

Will syrup sink or float?

It depends on the type of syrup. Generally, syrup is denser than water and will sink in it. However, some syrups, such as maple syrup, have a lower density and may float on top of water.


Why do objects float higher in salt water?

Because salt is more heavy, I mean try mixing oil syrup and water, they won't mix because oil will go to the top which means that it is the lightist, then water would go in the middle because it is th second lightist, then syrup would go at the bottom because it is the heaviest. You could also try putting eggs in regular water and it won't float, but if you put salt in the water and mix it, the egg will maybe float if it doesn't then add more salt.

What object is light enough to float in some syrup but not in water?

A feather is light enough to float in syrup but not in water due to differences in their densities and viscosities. The thicker consistency of the syrup provides more buoyant force to support the feather compared to water.


Can a wooden dowel float in salt water?

on top. Wood is less dense than water to the point that it float on top of water, and salt water is more dense and has a higher surface tension than pure water so the wood would, if possible, float higher.


How do objects float higher in salt water?

Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.


Which would float on water corn oil glycerine corn syrup wood rubber ice?

In order to float on water, the object would have to have a density of less than 1g/mL, which is stated 1gram per milliliter, not over milliliter.


Does sprite float on water?

No. Sprite is made up of 99 % water and 1 % syrup. It will mix.


Why do thing float higher in salt water the?

Due to high density of sea water things float higher in sea water.


Would a cell placed in syrup lose or gain water?

A cell placed in syrup would lose water through the process of osmosis. This is because the syrup has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move from the cell to the syrup in an attempt to equalize the solute concentrations.


Maple syrup will float sink in water because its density is greater than 1 g cm?

Maple syrup will sink in water because its density is greater than the density of water, which is 1 g/cm³. Objects with a density higher than the surrounding fluid will sink in that fluid.


Would a cell placed in syrup probably gain or lose water?

A cell placed in syrup would likely lose water. This is because the syrup has a higher solute concentration compared to the cell's cytoplasm, resulting in a hypertonic environment. Water will move out of the cell through osmosis, leading to dehydration and shrinkage of the cell.
