Ice cubes are added to a glass of pure water and a glass of pure alcohol. The ice would be
A. At a higher level in water
B. At a higher level in alcohol
C. At the same level in both
D. Floating in alcohol and sinking in water
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Density of water is approx 1g/ml; Density of Ice is approx 0.93g/ml; and Density of 100% pure ethanol is 0.79g/ml. So the density of ice cubes is lesser than water, but higher than alcohol. So it will float in water, but sink in alcohol. This can also be put as: The ice cube will float higher in water as compared to alcohol.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Physics
