Floating and sinking. Comparison of densities of solids and liquids for water (H2O, left) and glacial (concentrated) acetic acid (CH3COOH, right). Solid water (ice) has a lower density than liquid water, therefore it floats at the top. This is very unusual, in most substances, ex., acetic acid, solid state has a higher density than liquid and therefore it sinks to the bottom. | |
