Being heavier (denser) than water, it would sink.
A substance with a higher density than water will sink.
Be more massive?
The obvious answer, "sink", is not necessarily true since ships are made of materials that are denser than water but, because of their shape, will float.
Being heavier (denser) than water, it would sink.
A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 it's sinking in water.
float
Yes it would. In fact, it IS.Density is a property of the substance, no matter how much or how little of it you have.Whether a droplet or an olympic swimming-pool full, water is water, and has the density of water.
Calculate the volume of the substance by measuring the length, width and height. The formula looks like this: Volume = L (length) x W (width) x H (height). Determine if the object or substance is irregularly shaped. If so, you can determine the volume by finding out how much water is displaced when the object is dropped into a beaker of water. Calculate the density once you know the volume and mass of the substance or object. Density is equal to the mass of the substance divided by its volume: D (density) = M (mass) / V (volume).
Not necessarily. The temperature of the samples would have to be the same. It can also vary with how pure the substance is.
In water, it could be any substance really with the same density of water, in which case would simply drift within the water body. Floating is caused when the substance is less dense than water, while sinking is caused when the substance is more dense than water. An equivalent density would be your answer.
A decrease in density would indicate a reduction in mass relative to the volume. If the mass decreases but the volume remains the same or increases, then the density would decrease.

It depends on the units you are using for density.Typically, water is thought to have a density of "1" at 4 degrees Celcius. But that is assuming you are using (g/cm3) as your units.Density of water is dependent upon other factors such as impurities in the water as well.
Sink like a rock. Water has a density of 1.0g per cm3. Anything denser will sink and anything less dense will float, assuming it does not dissolve. Most oils range from 0.8 to 0.9 and will float on water. After the beginning of a rain, you can often find oil floating on the water on the road.
It depends upon the temperatures and purity of the two quantities of water. If they are both at the same temperature and both have the same purity, they will both have the same density as density does not depend upon the volume, but the substance itself. If they are at different temperatures, or have different purities, then they will have different densities, but which would be greater would depends upon which has which temperature and which purity.
Compared to a low density substance and all other things being equal, it would be heavier.
A substance with approximately the same density as water.
Density. Since density = mass/volume, if you have a substance A, it has density(A), which is given in a standard form of ## grams per cm^3 (cubic centimeter) or mL (milliliter). The density of water is 1.0g/mL. Thus, suppose the mass of substance A is 10 grams and it's volume is 5 cm^3. Then, it's density is 2g/mL. If you looked at 5cm^3 (or 5mL) of water, it's mass would be 5 grams. Therefore, the ratio of the two masses of equal volumes substance A and water is exactly the ratio of the two densities, which equals the density of substance A.
Density = mass / volumeThe density of an object affects how it will float in another. Example the density of hydrogen is ~ 0.08 g / L whereas the density of air is ~ 1.2 g/L. Therefore, hydrogen floats in air.For an object to float in water it has to have a density less than 1.0 g/mL or 1.0kg/L.densities can be compared to see if an object will float.densities of pure substance can be checked with reference books or online. If a substance is impure then its density will not be the same as the reference value. Densities can be compared to check if the substance is pure. When Indiana Jones replaced a block of gold with an equal volume of water to avoid a trap springing would not have worked. Why? Density of gold is 19.3 times heavier than an equal volume of water.
