No, they will mix together to give watery milk. Yummy!

∙ 11y agoA fresh egg will sink in water, but less decisively as time goes on, and will begin
to float by the time it's a week or two old.
The density of most eggs is just slightly more than the density of water. Most
will float in salt water or milk.

∙ 13y agoThings float when they displace less water, in weight, than their own weight.
If we're not thinking about boats, we can view it this way: things float when they have a lower density than water. Water has a density of 1.000 g ml-1.
So what's the density of milk? Well...it depends on the type of milk. High fat milk might be a little less dense than full skimmed milk.
Well a quick search gives a pretty handy table of such things:

So apparently most types of milk will in fact sink in water. Heavy cream will float. A packet of light cream will likely float but only by virtue of any air trapped in the packet.
Milk essentially is a colloidal mixture of water and fat. It has many minerals dissolved into it and so makes sense that it is generally a little more dense than water is.
This reminds me of a small experiment used to demonstrate density to children, whereby a can of coca cola will sink but a can of diet coca cola will float. This is because the sugar solubilised in the regular coca cola bumps the solution's density over 1g ml-1 and thus makes it sink (material dissolved into solution will add to the solution's mass (or weight) but does not effect its volume).

When milk is mixed with and gasoline which substance will float?
Gasoline
When milk is mixed with gasoline which substances will float?
The fats (i.e. cream) from the milk will dissolve in the gasoline and the the resulting gasoline/cream solution will float on the water from the milk.
Is dairy cream water soluble?
Cream actually is not water soluble, which is why it tends to float to the top of milk, and requires a special process to mix it in, if you want your milk to be homogenized.

Is milk a solution or a solvent?
Neither! Milk is actually a colloid. It is composed almost entirely of water, but proteins and emulsified fats are dispersed throughout it. These tiny globs of fat and protein are so small that they do not settle to the bottom or float to the top (some of it does, but not all of it).
Does milk sink or float in water?

Do milk jugs float on water?

will a milk carton float on water?
Yes, it will!

Can milk float in water?
Although you might think milk fats would likely float on water, milk also contains other solids like proteins and sugars, which make it barely heavier than water. So usually no - at the same temperature and pressure, ordinary homogenized cow milk would sink in water. A gallon of milk is heavier than a gallon of water.
Do milk containers float?
It depends if the carton is full or not. If the carton is empty, then it will float. If their is milk in the container, then it won't float.
Do apple jacks float or sink in milk?
Float. (They are less dense than milk)

Does milk float on honey?
Yes, milk will float on honey. Honey is much denser and heavier than milk. If you drop a spoonful of honey into a glass of milk it will sink to the bottom of the glass.
Why cream float on milk?
density of cream is lighter than milk
Why does Milo float to the top of the cup?
The density of the milo granules is less than that of water, hence they float. However they are also soluable, and more easily dissolvable in warm or hot milk.
