no. Density of ice is more than of water...we can understand from ice sinking in water drinks...

Edited by Dr.J. : How is it possible for the density of ice to be more (greater) than that of liquid water if ice FLOATS on lakes and rivers? Clearly, the density of ice is LESS than that of liquid water.

Why ice bergs float in water?

The density of water is 1.0, the density of ice is less than 1.0 so it floats. The same principle applies to bubbles underwater.


Is it true ice floats on water because water expands when it freezes?

It is true that water expands as it freezes, but the reason it floats on water is because the density of solid water (ice) is less than that of liquid water. And the density of ice is lower because of the expansion (same mass/larger volume).


Is dry ice or normal ice heavier?

Ice expands as it warms. At 4 degrees C water achieves it's maximum density. Warm ice is less dense than cold ice. Any amount of liquid water would mean that the ice has gotten as warm as it can get and that it is in equilibrium with the liquid water. The ice, being crystalline, has a discreet melting point so it is either water or it is warm ice. If the ice is wet, it is less dense than ice that is cold enough that the water in contact with it freezes. That doesn't mean that warm ice must be wet ice. If the water is removed, the dry ice will be the same density as the wet ice of the same temperature. Having said that, it is possible that you want to contrast the density of frozen carbon dioxide to water ice. * Water ice has a density of 0.92 g/ml * Dry ice (CO2) has a density range from 1.4 to 1.6 g/ml


Water weight ice weight?

Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.


Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?

Water has a greater density than ice.


Does density have an effect on ice?

Yes, density does have an effect on ice. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water. This property of ice is important for the survival of aquatic life in cold environments, as it helps insulate the water below the ice.


How would you describe a cup of water and a cup of ice using the properties of mass weight volume and density?

A cup of water and a cup of ice would have the same volume and mass because they fill the cup to the same level. However, the cup of ice would have a lower density than the cup of water because ice is less dense than liquid water due to its expanded crystal structure.


What low property of ice allows it to float on water?

The low density of ice is what allows it to float on water. When water freezes into ice, its molecules arrange themselves into a more spaced-out, crystalline structure, making ice less dense than liquid water. This difference in density causes ice to float on water.


Describe how liquid water and ice affects rocks?

When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass as water, the density of ice is slightly less than water, causing it to float on water.


How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?

Ice is less dense than liquid water.


What is the density of ice and water at 0 degrees Celsius?

Density of ice=0.9167 g/cm cubed Density of water=1.0 g/cm cubed


What is the density of ice and how does it compare to the density of water?

The density of ice is about 0.92 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This means that ice is less dense than water, which is why ice floats on water.
