The only way that charcoal (whether of wood, animal, etc.) can float on water is if the total mass of the charcoal is less than the total mass of an equivalent volume of water. This means that the charcoal is not heavier than water, at least not an equal volume of water. If the charcoal was heavier than (an equivalent volume of) water, it would not float.
What else can I help you with?
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
How call you tell if a substance is more or less dense then water?
You can determine if a substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3 at 4 degrees Celsius. If a substance has a density greater than 1 g/cm3, it is more dense than water. If it has a density less than 1 g/cm3, it is less dense than water.
Icecubes float in water because they are less?
Dense
Is saliva less dense than oil?
Yes, saliva is less dense than oil. Saliva is composed primarily of water, whereas oil is made up of non-polar molecules that are less dense than water.
What is it called when something is not as dense as water?
When something is not as dense as water, it is said to be less dense or have a lower density than water.
Wood charcoal is heavier than water yet floats on water?
Because that piece of charcoal is lighter that the water, so it floats.
Can charcoal float or sink?
Water is about 5 times more dense than charcoal. Charcoal floats. (Anything less dense than water floats. More dense than water, it sinks in water)
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
What object is less dense than water?
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Can you make oil less dense than water?
Oil IS already less dense than water.
What fruit is less dense than water?
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
Does ice float because it is less dense than water?
Yes. Anything that is less dense than water will float on water.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
What is less dense water basalt iron or granite?
Water is less dense than any of the other materials listed.In order of density from least to highest:Water (least dense)GraniteBasaltIron (most dense)
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
Is Jupiter less dense than water?
No, the only planet in the solar system less dense than water is Saturn.
