Yes, liquid water has about 9% higher in density than ice . So ice floats on the water (as you can see on lakes in freezing winter) because it is less dense than water.

Is density a physical change or chemical?

A change in density may accompany a Physical change. When liquid water becomes solid water, the solid water FLOATS; (is less dense) on top of its liquid form.Density itself is a physical property, not a change.


What is a physical Property of liquid?

Physical properties of liquid include: appearance, color, odor, boiling point, density and solubility


Will a liquid of higher density displace a liquid of lower density?

Yes, a liquid of higher density will displace a liquid of lower density when the two liquids are immiscible. This is because the liquid with the higher density will sink below the other liquid due to gravity, displacing it.


What is an example of a physical property?

(Mass) State, like solid, liquid, or gas. Color, size, or density.

Is density a physical or chemical change or is it a physical and chemical change?

Your answer will be physical property.It can also be physical change when you're telling the density of an object. And the reason why is "density" is... physical is just those kind of stuff...

What physical property of water causes ice to float in liquid water but sink in alcohol?

The physical property of water that causes ice to float is its lower density compared to liquid water; ice has a density of about 0.92 g/cm³, while liquid water has a density of approximately 1.00 g/cm³. This lower density allows ice to remain buoyant in water. In contrast, many alcohols, such as ethanol, have a lower density than ice, which causes ice to sink when placed in alcohol.


How could you tell if a liquid has a higher or lower density than water?

If a liquid does not mix with water and you pour a little water on the liquid, then if the water sinks, the water has a higher density than the liquid; otherwise, the liquid has a higher density. If a drop of the water dissolves in the liquid, then you weigh an equal volume of both liquids. The heavier one has the higher density.


Is it a physical property when lead becomes a liquid when heated to 601 degress Celsius?

Density is classified as a physical property because the density of a substance can change when the substance changes state. Example: When water evaporates it is a physical change and the density changes. A Is_density_classified_as_a_chemical_property_or_a_physical_propertyproperty is a property that describes its ability to react chemically with other substances and THEREFORE density is not a chemical property.so it is a physical property
