Question

Charcoal floats on water, because it is
a) denser than water b) softc) porous d) opaque

Answer 1

C. POROUS IS THE ANSWER

Answer 2

The correct statement is, “Charcoal floats on water because it is porous in nature.”

If one is less dense than water then it will float easily on the substance.

Hence, it is easy to float on water since it can displace the weight easily.

This is the main reason charcoal can float off in water.
