Density = mass / volume
The density of an object affects how it will float in another. Example the density of hydrogen is ~ 0.08 g / L whereas the density of air is ~ 1.2 g/L. Therefore, hydrogen floats in air.
For an object to float in water it has to have a density less than 1.0 g/mL or 1.0kg/L.
- densities can be compared to see if an object will float.
- densities of pure substance can be checked with reference books or online. If a substance is impure then its density will not be the same as the reference value. Densities can be compared to check if the substance is pure. When Indiana Jones replaced a block of gold with an equal volume of water to avoid a trap springing would not have worked. Why? Density of gold is 19.3 times heavier than an equal volume of water.

....
What is the density method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
Does Alcohol have a high density?
Well that depends, do you think 0.79 grams is high? Compared to water, which has a density of 1.0 grams.. so does alcohol have a high density compared to water? No. :P
If aluminum bar is cut in half What is the density of each half compared to the original density of the bar?
It is going to need to be divide by the original density and then after you find that out you get your answer.
What is the density of gold in a ring and in a necklace compared?
If the gold is of the same purity the density will be the same.
Object A is half the size of B The density of A when compared to B is?
size does not relate to density
What is the method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)

The density of styrofoam is lower: about 0.028 to 0.045 times that of water.
Does air have a very low density?
Compared to liquids and solids, yes a very low density.
