A 5.0-cm to the power of 3 sample of aluminum has a mass of 13.5g will it float in water?

If you calculate the density, you'll find that it's greater than 1, therefore it will not float on water.
Or you could save yourself some time and ask when the last time you saw metal float was.

Can aluminium float in water?
A solid bar of aluminum would not float, since its density (almost 3 grams per cc) is greater than that of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter). For an object to float in water, its density would have to be less than 1.0.
A 48.26g sample of aluminum at 100.0C is dropped into 34.47g of water at 25.0C What is the final temperature?
42.3 Celsius
Are there any metals that float on water?
Iron, copper, gold, aluminum, brass, titanium, zinc. I believe all metals are heavier than water but some thin sheets of metal such as Aluminum can float due to its bouyancy. You can probably cut anything into small enough size such that it would float. BTW, I can make steel float----in liquid lead.
A 7.40 cm3 sample of mercury has a mass of 102 g will it float in water?
To solve this question you need to find the sample's density. The formula for density is d=m/v or density = mass divided by volume. You also have to know the density of water, which is 1.so the density of you sample is .2517126 g/cm3because 102 divided by 405.224 (same as 7.403)= .2517126 g/cm3so yes it will float in water because it's density is less than 1 (the density of water).note: because it's less than one doesn't mean it's less dense than all elements. You have to find the less dense element first, and the smaller number will float on the water
How could you predicd if a block of plastic will float in water?
The block of plastic must be less dense than the water in which it will be placed in order to float. Density is equal to mass over volume (D=m/v), so you could calculate the density of the block of plastic and of a sample of the water by dividing the weight of each sample by the respective volume of each sample. If the density of the plastic is less than the density of the water, it floats! A hint: the maximum density of fresh water occurs at 4 C∘and is equal to 1 gram per 1 milliliter. When a solute - such as salt - is added, the density of water will decrease.
How can aluminum float on water?
Shape the aluminum to look like a boat, so it displaces enough water to float. The force supporting the aluminum is the buoyant force. It is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced.
Can you make aluminum float in water?
yes
How can aluminum foil float in water?
A thin aluminum foil can float on water if placed carefully flat on the surface because of the surface tension of water. If you were to submerge it, the foil will sink.
Does aluminum powder float in salt water?
Yes
Can aluminium float in water?
A solid bar of aluminum would not float, since its density (almost 3 grams per cc) is greater than that of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter). For an object to float in water, its density would have to be less than 1.0.
Does aluminum soda cans float in water?
Yes, if is empty.
Which one of these are most likely to float on water is it a lead bar an iron nail or aluminum?
Aluminum.
Do aluminum can peices sink or float?
Answer #1: float.==========================Answer #2:The density of aluminum is 2.7 gm/cm3.So, just like steel, if you shape a piece of it just right so that it displacesenough water, you can make it float. But a lump of it will sink in water.
Why does aluminum foil float?
The aluminum foil is less dense than the water which makesit float. Aluminum foil is not less dense than water. It is more dense. The reason that aluminum foil floats is that the surface tension of the water will hold the sheet of foil. If you still think that the aluminum foil is less dense than water, try floating a roll of foil in a bucket.
Why can aluminum float?
Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.
Does aluminum sink or float in water and why?
Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density than the aluminum.
