The best way would be to change the state of the water. In other words, have ice floating in liquid water, while steam is above that.

Why does the oak wood float on water but not on paraffin?

Oakwood floats on water because it is less dense than parrafin. water has a density of about 1.0 g/cm3 and anything less than that floats (oakwood) and anything more than that sinks (parrafin) I do not know the answer to this question, however I do konwthat parrafin has a density of 0.8 g/cm3 so it should float on water.


Do paint float on water?

no paint does not float on water.answ2. But if you mix an oil-based pigment with turpentine (for example) it will float on the surface of water.This is the process by which you can produce marbled paper, such as is found in old books sometimes.Don't use too many colours. And mix a little of each colour with turps separately. Sprinkle a few drops of each colour on the water surface, and stir the surface just a little before you draw the paper across the surface. A broad basin large enough to accommodate your paper is necessary.Your art teacher may be able to help.


Is graphite malleable?

Yes. The weak attractions between the layers of atoms in graphite are easily broken. Therefore, graphite is soft and the layers can slide over each other.


Can an electric light and water cause a fire?

If they are put in contact with each other yes.


Why do some things float in salt water but not in fresh water?

Because salt water can carry more objects than fresh water because the salt in the water makes the water heavier, and because fresh water has nothing in it so it's less heavier. Water cannot carry something heavier than itself. This heaviness is called density, and is the mass of the water in a particular volume of water. Pure fresh water has a density of 1g/mL, which means each milliliter of water has a mass of 1 gram. Anything that has a density greater than 1g/mL will sink in fresh water. The density of salt water is greater than 1g/mL, so anything that has a density less than the salt water will float on it, including fresh water.

How do you make layers of water float on each other?

If both layers are water, then make one of them warmer than the other one.


Why can liquids float on each other?

Liquids can float on each other due to differences in their densities. When a less dense liquid is poured on top of a denser liquid, it will float because it is lighter and less likely to sink. This is known as stratification, where liquids of different densities form layers with the least dense liquid on top.


In which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?

Ice can float on liquid water.

Will petrol float on diesel?

No, although it is lighter than diesel and therefore would normally float to the top, the two will dissolve in each other forming a new liquid that will not separate into layers.


What happens when you combine oil and water?

The oil will float above the water, as they wont mix with each other, and oil is lighter.


Why oil and water dissolve?

the density of oil is more than the water.so,they will never dissolve with each other, rather the oil will float over the water.


How a pin can float on the water in a cup?

A pin can float on water due to surface tension. Water molecules at the surface are more attracted to each other than to the air above, allowing the pin to sit on top of the water without sinking. This surface tension supports the weight of the pin, enabling it to float.


Why does liquids float on each other?

Because they aren't soluble in each other and have different densities.
