Question

Ice from a freezer is put in a glass of water at room temperature. The ice floats in the
water.
(i) What does this show about the density of the ice compared to that of water?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume of a substance. By saying that ice is less dense than water, we mean that a sample of ice will take up more space than a sample of water that has the same mass.
