Which about an ice cube floating in a glass of water is correct?

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).


Do pieces of ice float in salt water?

I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice


Why does my ice melt in my soda?

Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.


Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?

AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).


Where would an ice cube with a density of.92 grams per mililiter be found in a container of water?

An ice cube with a density of 0.92 g/mL would float on water because the density of ice (0.92 g/mL) is less than the density of water (1.0 g/mL). This is due to the fact that ice is less dense than liquid water, causing it to float on the surface rather than sink.

Will a chunk of ice float higher than an ice cube?

A chunk of ice will float higher in water than an ice cube only if the ice chunk is larger than the ice cube.


Why is an ice cube able to float on liquid ice?

Can an ice cube float on water?

yes!


Why doesn't float an ice cube float in air?

An ice cube will not float in air because air has a lower density than ice, making it less buoyant. Ice is less dense than water, which allows it to float in water due to buoyancy. In air, the buoyant force is not strong enough to support the weight of the ice cube, so it will not float.


What happens when you place an ice cube in a beaker of water does it float or sink?

How can ice ice cube float?

It depends if the ice cube your talking about have the bigger density than the water which is 1.00G/ML then it will sink .... TO get the density of the cube u have u have to divide the mass over the volume of the cube..


How can an ice cube float in a glass of water?

Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a rigid crystalline structure that spaces out the water molecules, making the ice cube less dense and causing it to float on the denser liquid water.


In which liquids will an ice cube float?

in water or anything which is denser than ice


What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?

If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.


What would happen if you mixed water olive oil and an ice cube?

if you were to add water an ice cube an olive oil the water would be on the bottom and the oil would be on top and the ice cube wuld float inside of the olive oil.


Which ice cube will sink the one in water or hydrogen peroxide?

an ice cube cannot sink in water because its density is less than that of water. this is because of the air bubbles trapped inside; that make the ice cube less dense than water.
