What determines whether one will sink or float in another?
The density of an object is what determines whether it will sink or float in another substance. If the object's density is greater than the substance it's placed in, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the substance it's placed in, it will float.
Which property determines whether one substance will sink or float?
The density of the substance compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. If the substance is denser than the fluid, it will sink. If the substance is less dense than the fluid, it will float.
A mixture that forms when one substance dissolves in another is called?
A solution.
What thermal energy moving from one substance to another?
Heat transfer is the process by which thermal energy moves from one substance to another. This can occur through conduction (direct transfer through touch), convection (transfer through fluid movement), or radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves).
Is the transfer of temperature from one substance to another called convection?
No, the transfer of temperature from one substance to another is called conduction. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
What determines whether one substance will sink or float when it is placed in another substance?
Solubility
What determines whether one will sink or float in another?

What does flotation have to do with earth science?
Floatation is when one substance is suspended over another liquid or gas because of a difference in density. On Earth, the plates that form the crust float on the liquid magma underneath.
How can you tell if one substance will float in another substance?
Weigh samples of the two that have the same volume. A solid object with greater "average density" will sink in a less-dense fluid. A lighter fluid will float atop a heavier one if they do not form a solution. Examples: - One cc of metallic iron will weigh more than one cc of motor oil (sinks) but less than one cc of mercury (floats in the mercury). - One cc of mercury weighs more than one cc of water (sinks) but one cc of oil weighs less than the water (floats).
If matter has a density of less then one then that substance will?
Float
Which property determines whether one substance will sink or float?
The density of the substance compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. If the substance is denser than the fluid, it will sink. If the substance is less dense than the fluid, it will float.
Why would one fluid float over another?
Because the fluid at the bottom has a greater density than the one at the top.
Which property determines whether one substance sink or float?
Units of measure
What is called the direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that it is touching is called?
the direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that it is touching is called
What is a chemcial change?
Its the change of one substance into another substance.
What device separates one substance from another substance?
A centrifuge.
Do cornoil float on water?
Corn oil floats on water. It floats because oil is less dense than water. When one substance is less dense than another it rises to the top.
