Effects of density on the position of material?
Lower density materials would work their way to the top of a free moving solution.
How do materials that float differ from materials that sink?
The ones which float have a lower density than water, whereas those which sink have a higher density than water. However, also the shape the material is in influences whether it sinks or floats.
What causes materials to sink and float in water?
Density is a physical property of all materials and represents how much mass the material has per unity of volume. If the density is higher than that of water, the material floats. Lower than it sinks.
What is meant by light neutral in a refinery?
"Light" refers to the density. "Lighter" materials have a lower density. "Neutral" refers to the acidity which is measured using the total acid number (TAN).
How does the density of warm water compare with the density of cold water?
Generally, warm water has a lower density than cold water. However, between 1 and 4 degrees C the reverse is true.cold water?
Is it a chemical to have a density?
All materials have a density.
What would happen to a liquid or solid that has a lower density than water is placed in container of water?
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)
Does the density differ in a hurricane?
The density of materials is unchanged.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
How do you determine whether or not the crown was pure gold or not?
you weigh its density and compare it with the density of gold, if both densities are same, then the crown is made of pure gold. if the density of the crown is lower than the density of gold, then the crown is made of materials that are cheaper or have a density that is less than gold, meaning that it is not made of pure gold.
Do materials with high density float or sink?
This depends on what the material is floating or sinking in. If an object in water that has a higher density than water will sink, but if it has a lower density it will float. For example, water has a density of 1.00 g/mL so if you put something with a density higher than 1 g/mL into it it will sink, but if the material you put in it has a density lower than 1 g/mL it will float.
Why does a gas not have density?
All materials - including gases - have a density !
