It's less dense then water, that's why it floats

Would ice float higher in water or corn syrup?

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.


Do ice float in water?

yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.


Ice float on top of water?

Ice float on water because the density is lower.


Do ice cubes in water float or sink?

They float, as ice is less dense than water.


When ice is put in water will it float or melt?

Truthfully both. Eventually it will melt< but in the meantime, it will float.hope that helps!


Why do ice cubes always float a the top of the glass of water?

Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.


When does water float and why does it float?

Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.


Do pieces of ice float in salt water?

I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice


Does water or ice have the most density?

Water,thats why ice float on water.


Why does an ice float in water?

Because of the buoyancy of the Ice


The property of ice that allows it to float in water is the ices low blank?

The property of ice that allows it to float in water is the ice's low density. When water freezes into ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that makes the ice less dense than the liquid water, causing it to float.


What property of water causes ice to float?

The property of water that causes ice to float is its density. When water freezes into ice, the molecules form a crystal structure that spaces them apart slightly, making ice less dense than liquid water. This lower density causes ice to float on the surface of water.
