Lower density materials float in higher density fluids. This does not occur if two miscible fluids are miscible (dissolve in each other). In that case the one fluid mixed with the other (e.g. alcohol and water)

What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?

The object will dissolve in the container of water.


When this material is placed in a container of water it sinks to the bottom of the container compared to the density of water the density of the material is?

The density of the material is greater than the density of water if it sinks to the bottom of the container when placed in water.


Does the density of a liquid change with the shape of a container?

No. the density is a characteristic of the liquid itself and not dependant on the container holding the liquid. Think of it this way: would the boiling point of a liquid change with the shape of a container? Another thought: think of a very rich, dense chocolate cake, as opposed to a very light angel food cake. You can have a very thin slice of the chocolate cake, or a ridiculously decadent slab. both pieces have the same quality of denseness, even if one is much more fun to eat.


What happens to molecules with sufficient energy when a liquid is placed in a closed container?

When a liquid is placed in a closed container, molecules with sufficient energy can escape from the liquid and turn into gas. This process is called evaporation.


How can you tell when two liquids with the same volume which one has greater density?

You can determine which liquid has greater density by measuring the mass of equal volumes of each liquid. The liquid with greater mass per unit volume has higher density. Alternatively, you could also check their buoyancy when placed in the same container – the liquid that floats on top has lower density.


What Is the relationship between density of a liquid and the objects that float or sink in the liquid?

An object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.


The density ofbody is greater than the density of liquid the body will what?

If the density of a body is greater than the density of the liquid it is placed in, the body will sink in the liquid. This is because objects with higher density than the liquid they are placed in will experience a net downward force greater than the buoyant force acting on them, causing them to sink.


When this material is placed in a container of water it sinks to the bottom of the container compared to the density of water the density of material is?

The density of the material is greater than the density of water because it sinks to the bottom of the container. Objects with a density greater than that of water will sink in water.


What object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?

an object will float on a denser liquid


How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of ojects placed in liquid?

The density of the liquid determines the buoyant force acting on an object placed in it. If the object is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. The relationship between the density of the object and the density of the liquid affects how much of the object is submerged and the magnitude of the buoyant force.


What changes shape when placed in different container?

Any Liquid or Gas


What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?

If the density of a solid substance is greater than that of the liquid it is placed in, the solid substance will sink to the bottom of the liquid. This occurs because objects with higher density will displace an equal volume of the lower density liquid, causing the solid to sink.
