Q.	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» A. at a higher level in water
Explanation: Density of water is approx 1 g/ml; Density of Ice is approx 0.93g/ml; and Densityof 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.
