Root beer is typically more dense than water because it contains dissolved sugars, flavorings and carbon dioxide. This higher density causes objects to float higher in root beer compared to water.


What makes a root beer float foam?

A root beer float foam is created by the carbonation in the root beer bubbling up when it comes in contact with the cold ice cream. This creates air pockets in the ice cream, making it light and frothy.


Is a root beer float a chemical or physical reaction?

A root beer float is primarily a physical reaction rather than a chemical one. When root beer is combined with ice cream, the two ingredients mix but do not undergo any chemical change; they retain their original properties. The fizzing and bubbling that occurs is a result of the carbonation in the root beer, which is a physical process as gas escapes. Overall, the combination is a delightful mixture of flavors and textures without any new substances being formed.


Do ice cubes float higer or lower in a mixed drink?

It depends on the alcohol and the percent of alcohol in the solution in which the ice is placed. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/cm³ at 0°C. As ethyl alcohol is the one most people think of, lets use it as an example. Ethyl alcohol (pure) has a density of 0.789 g/cm3 so ice would sink rather quickly. It is not until room temperature (20oC) alcohol/water solutions approach 50% that the densities of the solution would be high enough for the ice to float.
