Nothing really big... It floats because of density not surface tension.
But You can try and discover what will happen. :)
( P.S if you'll drop soapstone it will probably create nice waves... )
two molecules or moieties combine to form one single molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule. When this small molecule is water, it is known as a dehydration reaction; other possible small molecules lost are hydrogen chloride, methanol, or acetic acid.
Answer - Well to put it in short terms.
Cells such as water cells or aquatic microorganisms need and required to have a large surface area increased. Because this helps them stay afloat without spending much amount of energy to float.
Can you elaborate it’s confusing I think it’s consequence tho
