Is ice more dense than water? Explain how you know.

What is no, ice is less dense than water because it floats in water

True or False: If an object sinks in water and you know its volume is 30 mL, its mass is 1 g.

What is false; its mass must be more than 30 g to have a density that is greater than 1 g/cm3

Is helium less dense than air? How do you know?

What is yes because a helium balloon rises in air
