प्रश्न
If you put one ice cube in a glass of water and another in a glass of alcohol, what would you observe? Explain your observations.
उत्तर
Ice floats in water and not in alcohol. This is because the density of ice is `"0.917g"/"cc"` which is lower than that of water which is 1. Whereas, the density of ethanol (alcohol) is only `"0.789g"/"cc " `which is lesser than ice, hence it floats in alcohol.
