No. The ice does not float on oil or kerosene, it is because a kerosene is a non-polar solute whil the ice which came from H2o is a polar solute in which it contradicts with each other. When the ice melts, the ice become water, the water is denser than kerosene, so the kerosene floats for it has a lighter density while the water sinks for it has a denser density.
What else can I help you with?
If an object sinks in water its density is less than that of water?
Yes, that's correct. If an object has a density lower than that of water, it will float. If it sinks, then its density is greater than that of water.
Can ship float on kerosene or not?
No, a ship cannot float on kerosene. Kerosene is less dense than water, so it cannot support the weight of a ship, which is designed to float on water due to its buoyancy.
Does Fimo float?
No, Fimo does not float in water. It is a type of polymer clay that is dense and sinks in water.
How does water sink and float?
Water sinks or floats in other liquids based on their relative densities. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by a fluid opposes the weight of the object, determining whether it sinks or floats.
When an object sinks its denser than water?
Yes, when an object sinks in water, it means that the object is denser than water. This is because the density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in a fluid, with denser materials sinking and less dense materials floating.
Does a denser object sink or float?
An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.
If an object sinks in water its density is less than that of water?
Yes, that's correct. If an object has a density lower than that of water, it will float. If it sinks, then its density is greater than that of water.
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
If an object float in water is it more dense than an object that sinks?
other way around, buddy =)
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
Does kerosene float on water-?
Yes, kerosene floats on water because it is less dense than water. This is due to the fact that kerosene is a hydrocarbon liquid and has a lower density compared to water, causing it to float on top of water.
Can ship float on kerosene or not?
No, a ship cannot float on kerosene. Kerosene is less dense than water, so it cannot support the weight of a ship, which is designed to float on water due to its buoyancy.
Why some object float and other sinck in the water?
It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.
Would an object of 3.7 cm float why or why not?
Floats when it displaces its weight of water; sinks when it's displaced water weighs less than the object. Huh?
Why do some objects float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
Does Fimo float?
No, Fimo does not float in water. It is a type of polymer clay that is dense and sinks in water.
Why would an object float in water but sink in rubbing alcohol?
An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. Rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water, so an object that sinks in rubbing alcohol likely has a higher density than the rubbing alcohol. This difference in density causes the object to sink in rubbing alcohol but float in water.
