What effect does salt water have on glass and plastic?
Salt water can corrode glass over time, causing it to become cloudy or frosted. It can also cause pitting or etching on plastic surfaces, particularly if the plastic is not designed to be resistant to salt water. Both glass and plastic can be damaged by exposure to salt water if not properly cared for and maintained.
How does the density differ between a glass and a plastic cup that have almost exactly the same volume?
Higher molecular interaction force contribute to higher density. In additional, higher molecular weight give tendency to higher density at same intermolecular force. Even plastic had different density, some plastic is lighter than water but some can be twice heavy, PVC for example.
What will happen to the mass and weight of a glass of water left over many days?
The mass of the glass of water will remain the same if there is no evaporation or addition of any substances. The weight of the glass of water may decrease slightly due to evaporation of water over time, but this change would be very small for a short period.
Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
Glass floats in mercury because mercury is much denser than glass, creating a buoyant force that allows the glass to float. In contrast, water is less dense than glass, causing the glass to sink due to its higher density. The buoyant force in water is not enough to support the heavier glass object.
Why does an egg sink into a glass bottle but not a plastic bottle?
It floats because the water is heaver then the bottle. The bottle is light so it floats. No,It floats because the particles are free to move inside but with water in it there is not enough space for the particles to move so it floats.
Do plastic float on water?
depends if the plastic is heavier or lighter than water and if its hold air which is lighter than water
Should water be served in plastic bottle glass or plastic cup?
Glass would be healthier

Do you think that glass is cleaner than plastic in water bottles?
I would say glass. Glass is nonporous and easily cleaned and disinfected. Plastic is soft and the molecules making up the plastic bottle may leach into the water.
Why is plastic lighter than water?
plastic is an insulator so it keeps you from being electrocuted.
Why is a glass jug better than a plastic jug when measuring water?
Water "wets" plastic more than glass, giving a lower reading
What are the advantages of resin plastic in making water bottles?
A couple of advantages of resin plastic water bottles include durability when compared to glass bottles. The plastic bottle can be recycled and then used over and over again. Also these bottles are lighter which makes them more convenient to carry around during the day.
Dose all plastic float in oil?
plastic will float in water because it is lighter than oil
What kind of balls sink in water?
Balls that are denser than water will sink. This includes materials like glass, steel, or rocks. Conversely, balls made of lighter materials like plastic or foam will typically float.
How do you differentiate between plastic and glass containers?
Throw them at the ground. The glass will shatter. Plastic will not. dont try this at home... It wont hold water.

What are some transparent objects?
Some transparent objects are water, air, and clear glass.
