5. Put a pebble and a small plastic spoon in a beaker which is 2 /3rd filled with water. Which one would sink? Why?

Water has a density of 1.0 gm/cubic cm.
The density of ice is 0.931 gm/cubic cm.
The hydrogen bonds that form when water freezes into ice allow the molecules to be spaced farther apart, thus making them take more space, decreasing the overall density and making it float in the water. The water molecules in ice take up about 9% more space than liquid water, which means ice is about 9% less dense than water.
