Thats Insane

As you know, when an object or another liquid is placed in a liquid, if it’s less dense, it floats, if it’s denser it sinks to the bottom. For example, oil and water don’t mix and oil floats on water. But will ice float or sink in oil? Comment down below if you guessed correctly. No shame in getting it wrong. Continue reading if you want to an explanation on what happened and why it happened. Spoilers ahead. Explanation: While almost everyone knows that water becomes less dense when ti freezes into ice due to expansion, most people don’t know just how much water expands when it freezes. Water’s density is g/ML and is its densest at 4 degrees Celsius, or 39 degrees Fahrenheit (the molecules have to have space between them to form the crystal structure of ice). Cooking oil has a density of g/ML, which is why it floats on water. Ice has a density of g/ML, which makes it less dense than the oil, causing it to float. Many are surprised by this amount of disparity between the densities of ice and l
