Question

ice cubes floats on water whereas oil cubes sink in oil. why is it so??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ice Cube in Oil

The ice cube floats because it is less dense than oil. As the ice melts, drops of water collect at the bottom of the cube. The water droplet is more dense than the ice and causes the cube to tilt. Once the droplet is sufficiently large, it drops off the cube and sinks to the bottom of the oil layer.

Answer 2

Answer:

ice cubes are less dense than water (when water freezes, their molecules move farther apart; so there are fewer molecules per unit volume and so ice has a smaller density)

oil cubes are more dense than oil (the above thing doesn't happen when oil freezes; when liquids freeze, their molecules usually come closer together)

hope u understand:)
