Question

Select the correct answer.
Why does ice float on water?
A.
The temperature of ice is lower than the temperature of water.
B.
The temperature of water and ice are the same.
C.
The density of ice is less than the density of water.
D.
The density of ice is greater than the density of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

as the density of ice is less than water(as temperature is less) ice floats

Answer 2

Answer:anwer is (c)

Explanation:first of all

Density = mass /volume

So as volume of a substance increases its density decreases (since volume lies in denominator so as volume value increases the value of density will gradually decrease)

Now volume of ice i more than volume of water(due to anomalous behaviour)

so density of ice is less than density of water
