What else can I help you with?
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
If a substance floats in water, it is less dense than water. This means that its mass per unit volume is lower than that of water. Substances with lower density will float on top of substances with higher density.
What can you infer about the density of a substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
If a block of substance floats in water, it means that the substance is less dense than water. This indicates that the density of the substance is lower than that of water, which has a density of 1 g/cm³.
Is petrol density higher than water density?
No, the density of petrol is lower than the density of water. Water has a density of 1 g/cm³, while the density of petrol is around 0.75-0.85 g/cm³.
What is thinner air or water?
Air is thinner than water. Air is a gas and has a lower density compared to water, which is a liquid. At sea level, the density of air is about 1000 times lower than that of water.
What does a solid block with a lower density than water do in a container of water?
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water. This is because the buoyant force acting on the block is greater than its weight, causing it to rise to the surface and float.
Is frozen salt water heavier than frozen water?
The density of saline water is greater than the density of pure water.
What weights more frozen water or normal?
Ice has a lower density than water (hence it floats on it) and as such will be lighter than the same volume of water.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
Does salt water have a lower density than water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
How is water density affected by freezing?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
Why snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
Does a cup have the same amount of water after it has been frozen?
No. There are two main differences (and most others follow on from them): the temperature is lower so the frozen water is solid rather than liquid and the density has decreased (the same volume of water will have expanded).
How does it explode when you put water in ice and put the lid on of the box?
Ice (near its melting point) has a lower density than water (it has more volume per unit mass). That's why ice floats on water. If it didn't have lower density, it would sink. All the oceans would be frozen from the bottom up and there would be no life on earth.
What happens to density when an object is frozen?
With the exception of water, the particles of an object move closer together and become a solid. Being closer together makes the density rise once it becomes frozen but the density won't rise if the temperature is lowered and the object is already frozen. When water freezes, the density lowers, making ice float.
Does volume density or mass change when water is frozen then heated?
The density of water changes at different temperatures. As temperature goes up, density goes down.
When water freezes what causes it to float?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
When do you say that a substances has lower density than water?
A substance has lower density than water when it floats on water. This indicates that the substance is less dense than water.
