Lead (11,34 g.cm^-3) has a greater density than water (1 g.cm^-3) so for the same volume of water and lead, lead will be heavier. The "-3" should be written as an exponent but it won't allow me

Which is heavier lead or solder?

Lead. The densities of lead and tin are 11.34 g/cm^3 and ~7 g/cm^3, respectively. Lead solder is an alloy made of mostly lead and tin; a mixture of lead and tin will weigh less than 100% lead. Lead-free solders are made of tin, copper, silver, indium, bismuth, zinc, antimony, and other metals; none of these metals is heavier than lead. So, lead is the champion.


Does salt make water heavier?

No; water maintains a constant mass of 1 gram milliliter. If you add salt to the mix, it won't make the water heavier, although the combined weight of both salt and water put together will be greater than the water by itself. So no the water does not get heavier, your just adding more weight in the form of salt.


Weight of produced water per gallon?

It really depends on where the water is being produced from. Typically it will be slightly heavier than clean water which is 8.3 lb/gal. In the field that I am working in we use the baseline of 8.5 lb/gal which is heavier than what we are actually working with, but that way we are always planning on a heavier load than we get.


Which is heavier wood or lead?

Because centimeters cubed is a unit of volume, not weight. The two might take up the same amount of space, but iron is much more dense and as such weighs more.


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.
