Will a block of ice sink in mercury metal?
No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!
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.
Why do some ice cubes float and some sink?
Ice cubes float in water because ice is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it expands and forms a crystalline structure that is less compact than when it is a liquid, leading to its ability to float. If an ice cube sinks, it could be due to air bubbles trapped inside the ice during freezing, which reduce its overall density.
What floats and does not float?
A pencil floats, a human no float, a feather floats, paper floats, ice floats, keys do not float, rocks do not float, coins do not, flip flops float. Second answer: I think you meant to ask, 'What floats and then some time later starts to sink. If that is what you meant, the answer is: There are absorbent substances which float when dry, then after absorbing water while they are floating, they increase in density and then sink.
Do ice cubes float higher in alcohol?
Yes, ice cubes will float higher in alcohol compared to water because alcohol is less dense than water. This causes the ice cubes to displace more liquid when placed in alcohol, leading them to float higher.
Do ice cubes in water float or sink?
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
What are some things that can float and sink?

What liquid can ice sink in?
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
Does ice sink under the cup?
No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.
Why does vanilla ice cream float and chocolate ice cream sink?
Obviosly Ice cream has milk, but their are certain chemicals in one another. Vanilla ice cream has a chemical named SIO which provides the VANILLA ice cream to float; & Chocolate ice cream has another chemical named TEO which allows the CHOCOLATE ice cream to sink to the bottom of the container.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Will ice float in ether?
No. It will sink because ice is denser than ether, and denser things sink to the bottom. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/ml and ether has a density of 0.736 g/ml.
Why does ice float in liquid A and sink in liquid B?
because liquid A is viscous then liquid B
