The ice float on water because the density of ice is lower (0,916 7 g/cm3 at 0 0C) than the density of water (o,999 8 g/cm3 at 0 0C).

When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).


Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?

The water level will decrease slightly when the ice cube melts, but the overall volume will remain constant. The melted ice will just fill the space that the ice cube previously occupied, so the glass will not overflow.


If a cube is floating and half of it is in the water what is its density?

The density of the floating cube is equal to the density of the fluid it is floating in. This is because the cube is in equilibrium, meaning the weight of the cube is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Therefore, its density is the same as the fluid's density.


Why will an ice cube dissolve in a glass of water?

An ice cube will dissolve in water because the water is warmer than the ice.


What is an examples of liquid in solid?

Ice is a solid and water is a liquid, so an ice cube floating in a glass of water would be a solid in a liquid solution. Lava is molten rock, which would also be a solid in liquid solution.

It will melt.


When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


What will make an ice cube melt?
