The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.

A substance floats or sinks in another because of its relative?

density. If the substance is less dense than the liquid it is placed in, it will float. If the substance is more dense than the liquid, it will sink.


When sound travels in gas is it more dense or less dense?

The gas phase is less dense than the liquid or solid phase of a substance. Density is not a property of sound.


Does a viscous liquid have to be dense?

No, the viscosity of a liquid refers to its resistance to flow, while density refers to the mass of a substance per unit volume. A liquid can be viscous without being dense, as viscosity and density are independent properties.


How come the wax of the lava lamp come down?

The wax substance is more dense than the liquid when cool and less dense than the liquid when heated. The wax moves by density convection.


When water freezes unlike other substance?

Yes. Ice is less dense than liquid water. For virtually all other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.

What is the most dense liquid substance?

The densest liquid substance is mercury. It has a high density compared to other liquids, which makes it commonly used in barometers and thermometers.


What is one substance that is less dense as a solid compared to a liquid?

Water is a substance that is less dense as a solid (ice) compared to its liquid form. This is due to the unique structure of water molecules in ice, which causes them to form a lattice structure that takes up more space and results in a lower density compared to liquid water.


How do water's densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?

The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.


How do water relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?

The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.
