What else can I help you with?
The property of ice that allows it to float in water is the ice's low?
density
Do ice sheets float?
No, it depens on what solution it is floating or sinking in. If the solution happens to be more dense than the ice, then ice will float. However, ice will always float on water. See related question below for more information.
Will vinegar float in water?
Yes, ice will float in water because ice is less dense than water, you can think about how an iceberg floats in the ocean too.
What is the analysis for can water float on water?
The ability for something to float on another substance is related to the density and since ice is LESS dense than water it would float on top of water, not water on top of ice.In other words, water is more dense than ice and thus no.
How does ice float on top of water?
Ice is less dense than water so it floats. ex. ice is more dense than ethanol so it sinks.
Are there other solids besides ice and water that will float in the same liquid?
Oil/petroleum (gasoline?) will float on top of water as well.
Can a coin float on gasoline?
No, a coin can not float on gasoline.
In which liquids will an ice cube float?
in water or anything which is denser than ice
Will wood float in gasoline?
Yes, wood will typically float in gasoline because the density of wood is lower than that of gasoline. This means that the wood will be less dense than the gasoline and will float on its surface.
What liquid can ice sink in?
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
Does gasoline float?
yes it does float because it has less density. Therefore it will float.
When milk is mixed with gasoline which substances will float?
The fats (i.e. cream) from the milk will dissolve in the gasoline and the the resulting gasoline/cream solution will float on the water from the milk.
Will gasoline float on diesel?
Yes
Will gasoline float in air?
yes
When milk is mixed with and gasoline which substance will float?
Gasoline
Will a piece of platinum float on gasoline?
No, a piece of platinum will not float on gasoline. Platinum is a dense metal with a high specific gravity, which means it will sink in liquids that are less dense than itself, such as gasoline. Since platinum is significantly denser than gasoline, it will submerge rather than float.
Will the hydrometer float higher in glycerin or in gasoline?
The hydrometer will float higher in glycerin than in gasoline because glycerin is denser than gasoline. The level to which the hydrometer floats indicates the density of the liquid it is submerged in.
