Ice actually is denser than water. Like anything less denser than water, ice actually does float on water. The density of ice is 920 kg m-3 whereas the maximum density of water is 1000 kg m-3.

What would happen if you put something less dense then water into water what would happen if you put something just as dense as water into water and what would happen if you put something more dense?

-- It would float in the water, with part of it above the surface. -- It would hang just below the surface, or at whatever depth you placed it. -- It would sink down through the water like a rock.


Is Liquid water less dense or more dense?

Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).


Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?

Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

Is liquid water more dense than ice water?

No, ice water is more dense than liquid water. This is because the molecules in ice water are arranged in a more structured way, leading to a higher density compared to the more random arrangement of molecules in liquid water.


Ice is heavier than water or not?

Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.

What is Most dense form of water?

Under normal conditions, such as the range of conditions on the surface of the Earth in which people live, water is most dense in the liquid phase, at 4° C.


Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?

No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.


Does adding water to a liquid make it less dense?

That depends on the specific situation. Assuming the liquids just mix, and don't have some other reaction: * Adding water to a liquid that is denser than water will result in a liquid that is less dense (than the liquid that is not water). * Adding water to a liquid that is less dense than water will result in a liquid that is more dense.

Where is the least dense liquid found one liquid form layers?

The least dense liquid is typically found at the top layer when multiple liquids are combined, such as in a mixture of oil and water. Since oil is less dense than water, it will float on top, forming a distinct layer. This phenomenon can also be observed with other liquids of varying densities, where the least dense liquid will always rise to the surface.


What is denser than water so water will float?

Anything that doesn't float in water is less dense than water, say iron? So if you drop an iron bar into a glass of water, you can say that the iron sinks or you can interpret it as the water floats? If you are referring to liquid, then mercury.


Which is most dense liquid water water vapor or ice?

The most dense form of water is liquid water. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why ice cubes float in a glass of water. Water vapor is the least dense form of water, as it is a gas and occupies more space compared to liquid water and ice.


Which state of water allows fish to remain in a lake when winter temperatures are below 0C?

Water expands as it freezes so becomes less dense than liquid water. Ice floats to the surface leaving liquid water (for fish to swim in) below the surface ice.
