Generally, glass is more dense than water. (There are some types of glass which are less dense.) You can demonstrate this by gently placing a glass full of water in the sink or tub; the glass will sink, indicating that glass is more dense than water. If the glass were to float, we would know that the glass were less dense.
Try this with plastic cup; the plastic is normally less dense, and will float.
What else can I help you with?
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Is oil less dense then water?
Kerosene and turpentine are less dense than engine oil. So is water and rubbing alcohol and other common liquids.
Why do ice cubes float to the top of glass of water?
Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. The solid water molecules in ice are spaced farther apart than the molecules in liquid water, causing the ice to be less dense. This difference in density allows the ice cubes to float on the surface of the water rather than sink.
Is ice as dense as water?
Ice is less dense than water, that's why it floats.
Does lithium sink under water?
No, lithium is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface of water.
What is a way to see that ice is less dense then liquid water?
Put ice cubes in a glass of water. They will float, indicating that they are less dense than liquid water.
Are glass dense?
glass of water
Why do ice cubes always float a the top of the glass of water?
Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.
Does dense water sink or rise in comparison to less dense water?
Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.
Why does water flow into the bottom of a glass but ice doesnt?
Ice is less dense than water and therefore floats on water so when the glass has water in it the ice will always stay above the water.
Suppose you put a birthday caddle in a glass of water why will the caddle float on top of the water?
It will float on top because it is less dense than water.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
Would a glass and wood block float in water?
if it was a cubick foot of water and the glass was the same and weighs less then the water than yes
Is ice or water less dence?
Ice is less dense than water. When water freezes into ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a pattern that makes ice less compact, causing it to take up more space and be less dense than liquid water.
Why does ice float in a glass of water?
Ice floats in a glass of water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, its molecules arrange themselves in a crystalline structure that occupies more space, resulting in a lower density compared to liquid water. This unique property of water, where solid ice is less dense than its liquid form, allows ice to float.
Is water denser when it's frozen than when liquid?
No. I*f it were, ice would sink in a glass of water. As water freezes, it expands, and becomes less dense.
