Generally, solids do not float on their own liquids; they typically sink if they are denser than the liquid. However, ice is an exception because it is less dense than water due to its crystalline structure, which creates more space between molecules. This lower density allows ice to float on liquid water, a unique property that has significant ecological implications for aquatic life.
What else can I help you with?
What are examples of solids that will turn into liquids?
Ice melting is probably the most common sight
Will the densiy of 93 ice will it sink or will it float?
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
When placed in water ice rises to the top of the liquids. Unlike most solids that sink when placed in their liquids forms ice floats because?
There are microscopic bubbles of air trapped in the ice - making it lighter than the water.
Which will have more density solid or liquid?
There's no technical golden rule - water is denser than ice due to the bonding in its liquid phase, and some metals are denser in liquid form. Water is denser than certain other solids, including certain plastics and styrofoam. One variant of the material 'Aerogel' can even be made to be less dense than the atmosphere itself, a gas.
How do temperature changes the expansion of solids liquids and gases?
Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.
Can you change a liquids into solids?
with some you can ex) water can turn into ice
What liquids don't make ice float?
A liquid that is less dense than ice. Pure alcohol is 70% of the density of water- and ice would not float in it.
In which liquids will an ice cube float?
in water or anything which is denser than ice
What are examples of solids that will turn into liquids?
Ice melting is probably the most common sight
Give you examples of solids to become liquids?
solid ice becomes liquid water
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.
What does liquids become when they freeze?
Liquids become solids upon freezing. Most solids contract when they freeze. The expansion of water when it becomes ice is an unusual property.
What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?
The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.
What are some solids that change into liquids?
Ice turns to water is the first example that comes into my mind.
Will the densiy of 93 ice will it sink or will it float?
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
What is the difference between gases solids and liquids in terms of volume?
Gases have the greatest volume. Liquids are denser than gases. Most solids are slightly denser than liquids. One important exception is ice. Ice is solid water, but because of its crystal structure, ice is not as dense as liquid water.
