What else can I help you with?
Are sugar and sawdust particles less dense than sand and iron filings?
Yes, sugar and sawdust particles are generally less dense than sand and iron filings. Sugar has a lower density due to its molecular structure, while sawdust is composed of organic material that is less dense than the mineral composition of sand and the metallic nature of iron filings. Consequently, when comparing equal volumes, sugar and sawdust will weigh less than sand and iron filings.
What is denser than water so water will float?
Anything that doesn't float in water is less dense than water, say iron? So if you drop an iron bar into a glass of water, you can say that the iron sinks or you can interpret it as the water floats? If you are referring to liquid, then mercury.
Why does iron float in a pool of mercury while gold sinks?
It is function of the density of the three metals. The density of iron is less than that of mercury, but the density of gold is greater. Density of iron: 7.86 g/cm3 Density of mercury: 13.53 g/cm3 Density of gold: 19.3 g/cm3 Anything more dense than a liquid will sink in that liquid, and anything less dense will float. For comparison, the density of water is only 1 g/cm3, so all three would sink in a pool of water. Styrofoam for instance is less dense than water and so it floats in water.
Why iron nail sinks in water?
The density of iron is higher than that of water, so the iron nail sinks in water due to gravity pulling it downwards. The weight of the iron nail is greater than the buoyant force acting on it from the water, causing it to sink.
What is always less dense than solids?
Gases are less dense than solids.
Is iron more dense than silver?
Yes, iron is more dense than silver. Iron has a density of about 7.87 g/cm^3, while silver has a density of about 10.49 g/cm^3.
Which metal or ore is heavier silver gold titanium or iron?
I list them in order of heaviest to lightest:Gold, Silver, Iron, Titanium. Gold has no ore and ores are always less dense than the metal.
What is less dense water basalt iron or granite?
Water is less dense than any of the other materials listed.In order of density from least to highest:Water (least dense)GraniteBasaltIron (most dense)
Which element is less dense silver or gold?
Silver is less dense than gold. Gold has a higher density compared to silver, which means that a unit volume of gold will have more mass than the same volume of silver.
Is iron less dense than water?
No, else it would float
Are sugar and sawdust particles less dense than sand and iron filings?
Yes, sugar and sawdust particles are generally less dense than sand and iron filings. Sugar has a lower density due to its molecular structure, while sawdust is composed of organic material that is less dense than the mineral composition of sand and the metallic nature of iron filings. Consequently, when comparing equal volumes, sugar and sawdust will weigh less than sand and iron filings.
Is silver heavier than steel?
Yes, Steel is a harder metal than Silver. :)
Why does a wooden cork float in water but an iron nail sink?
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
Which is less malleable 1-sodium 2-iron 3- gold 4-silver?
Gold is less malleable compared to sodium, iron and silver. Gold is a soft metal with lower malleability than iron, silver, and sodium.
Is titanium is less dense than iron a chemical change?
The density is a physical property not a change.
Which spoon iron or silver becomes hotter when left in hot tea for one minute?
Silver gets hotter faster tha iron because specific heat of silver less than iron.
What is denser than water so water will float?
Anything that doesn't float in water is less dense than water, say iron? So if you drop an iron bar into a glass of water, you can say that the iron sinks or you can interpret it as the water floats? If you are referring to liquid, then mercury.
