Question

why does ice float on water? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ice floats because it is 9% less dense than water. In other words, ice takes 9% more space than water, so one litre of ice is less than one litre of water. Therefore, water is heavier than ice, the ice remains or sets in its place, which causes it to float on the water.

Answer 2

Ice float on water

$\huge{\green{\underline{\underline{Reason:}}}}$

• A substance with lower density than water can float on water.

• The density of ice is 9% less than the density of water.

• Hence the ice floats on water.

Additional information:

• When water molecules freeze ,the hydrogen bond strength and push the other water molecules further away.

• Hence the space between water molecules increase as it freezes from water.

• Water is heavier than ice

• Which have more denser than water it will sink to the bottom .

Ex:-Rocks etc.

• As water cooled becomes less dense due to the unique nature of hydrogen bonds. so that only ice floats on water.
