The density of water is equal to 1.0gcm3. a substance with density equal to cm would be what in water?
If a substance has a density of 1.0 g/cm3, it would have the same density as water. This means that the substance would neither sink nor float in water, as it would be neutrally buoyant.
An egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt why?
because following the density principle, the density of the egg compared to the density of the tap water is lesser....(the density principle states that an object or substance with lesser density will float on the surface of the substance or object which has the greater density...).....now,,,with salt,,, salt makes the density of the tap water to increase and increases also the salinity of the water making the egg float because the density of the water with salt is now greater than the density of the egg.... An egg will float when the density of the water is greater than the density of the egg. Adding salt increases the density of a salt water solution. Whether the egg floats or sinks depends on the condition of the egg as well as the amount of salt in the water. If an object is LESS dense than the solution that it is in, then it WILL float. If an object is MORE dense than the solution it is in, then it WILL NOT float. An egg is more dense than regular water; therefore, the egg will sink. But when you add salt to the water, you are making the solution more dense. The salt water's density becomes greater to the point that it is more dense than the egg. Because the egg is now LESS dense than the water, it floats.
Specific gravity is a ratio of the density of a substance to the density of?
Specific gravity is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to the density of water. It is expressed as a unitless ratio and is used to compare the density of different materials.
Can Antimony float in water?
No, antimony sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water.
If the numerator is bigger than the denominator of your density problem will the object float or sink in water?
If the numerator (density of object) is bigger than the denominator (density of water), the object will sink in water. This is because the object is more dense than water, so it will displace less water and sink.
