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).


Why is sea water more dense then fresh water?

Sea water is more dense than fresh water because it contains dissolved salts, minerals, and other substances that increase its mass without significantly increasing its volume. This increased mass causes sea water to be more dense than fresh water, which has a lower concentration of dissolved substances.


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.

How is density related to floating or sinkingin water?

water's density is defined as 1g/mL. if something is more dense then it will sink due to the fact that it weighs more per volume. if something is less dense then it will float because it weighs less per volume than water. Speaking in terms of atoms, if it is more dense than the molecules are closer together and can push the water molecules out of the way (so it goes to the bottom), but less dense the water molecules push against the less dense molecules causing them to rise.

Why is coconut oil less dense than water though it is thicker than water?

Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.


Which is most dense ice or water?

How much more dense is water than water?

Water is 784 times more dense than water.


Is a coin more dense than water?

The formula for density is mass divided by volume. If the mass of something increases, the volume will increase by the same degree, so no, a coin (or any object) will not differ in density because it has a larger mass.


Is the earth less dense or more dense than water?

Earth is more dense.
