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.

∙ 11y agoAluminum pellets will not float in water. Aluminum's density is 2.7 g/cm3. Water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. Since aluminum has a higher density (it is heavier) it will sink in water.
*** However, if the pellets are very small, the surface tension of the water will hold them, causing them to "float." :)

Yes, it will float as long as it has a big surface. It will not if it is a small piece.

What is the chemical reaction when aluminium is added to water?
Aluminium hydroxide could be formed
Can a egg can or can't float in water?
an egg can float in salt water.
Does an egg float in regular water?
no an egg does not float in regular water.
Does octane sink or float in water?
Octane float on water.
Do blocks float?
Depends on what they're dropped into. Water - no. But drop them into something that's denser than aluminium and they will float.
Do aluminum blocks float?
Depends on what they're dropped into. Water - no. But drop them into something that's denser than aluminium and they will float.
Has aluminium got less dense?
water has more dense than aluminium has got just because its lite and so it'll float
Will a bar of aluminium float in water?
Not unless its shaped like a boat. (i.e. its density is greater than water)
Will aluminium float or sink in water?
It depends on the amount and how tightly packed it is, but it usually should sink(natural)
If an aluminum cube had a mass of 20g and the length of each side was 2 centimeters between what to liquids would it float?
This aluminium cube doesn't float on water.
Why Does an aluminum can float on water but an aluminum pole does not?
Because the overall density of a can is less than the density of water, a solid aluminium pole has a density greater than water
Does Aluminium react with water?
Eventually, it will. But Aluminium has a great propensity to form a protective film of oxide, and this film is essentially inert. So aluminum may be used for boating or float planes, for example quite safely.
How do you separate aluminium from iron without a magnet?
One way would be to find a liquid that is chemically inert to both metals and has a density between that of iron and that of aluminium. In such a liquid, the aluminium would float and the iron would sink.
