What else can I help you with?
Does helium float or sink?
Helium is light and it will float / rise.
Why does a helium balloon float in the air rathen than sink?
because helium is ligter than air
Do rocks float on mercury?
No, rocks are denser than mercury, so they would sink in mercury. Mercury is a very dense liquid at room temperature, so objects that are less dense than mercury will float on it.
Why does helium rise while carbon dioxide sink?
Helium rises because it is less dense than the surrounding air. On the other hand, carbon dioxide sinks because it is more dense than the surrounding air. This difference in density causes helium to float upward and carbon dioxide to sink downward.
Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?
Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain
Does helium float or sink?
Helium is light and it will float / rise.
Does hydrogen float or sink in room temperature?
hydrogen floats at room temperature because it has a density less than 1.
Can Chlorine sink or float?
Chlorine is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, so it cannot sink or float. It is typically stored and transported in tanks as a compressed gas.
Does helium float or sink in water?
Helium gas is less dense than air, so it will rise and float in both air and water.
Why does a helium balloon float in the air rathen than sink?
because helium is ligter than air
Will the helium football be light then a aired football?
yes. think about balloons: a ballon with helium will float while a balloon with good ol' air will sink
Do rocks float on mercury?
No, rocks are denser than mercury, so they would sink in mercury. Mercury is a very dense liquid at room temperature, so objects that are less dense than mercury will float on it.
Does the object float or sink the higher the density?
The the object you speak of is in water at approximately room temperature, then anything with a density above about 1 will sink; anything below 1 will float and anything at very close will be suspended in the water. So, to answer your question, high density equals sinking.
Will atomic number 43 sink or float in water?
For something to be able to float on water, it requires a density lower than water. Water at room temperature has a density of 1 kg / L or 1000 g / dm3Atomic number 43 is the element Technetium. At room temperature Tc has a density of 11 g / dm3.So yes, it will float on water.
Why does a baloon filled with helium float in air but the baloon filled with carbandioxide sink?
Because Helium is less dense than air, and CO2, I assume is more dense
Will string float or sink in water?
Nope Most string should float on top of water becomes the string material is less dense than he water.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
