Actually it is heavier than air. And it will sink much like co2 does in air

Does natural gas weigh more or less than air?
It weighs less than air. Density of air is 1.2 kg/m3, density of methane is 0.72 kg/m3 (at standard temperature and pressure). Natural gas is mostly methane but does contain small amounts of heavier hydrocarbons, ethane, propane, and butane, but the mean density is still less than that of air.
Why you weigh more in the air than in the water?
because there is less gravity in water
Why does warm air weigh less than cool air?
Cold air falls and warm air rises. Warmer air rises above cooler air because it is less dense. The particles vibrate and move further apart so the molecules that compose the air are more spread out, causing the warm air mass to weigh less than the cool air.ass
How does a hot air balloon work?
Hot air balloons get their buoyancy from hot air created by a propane burner at the base of the balloon. Hot air is less dense than cold air and so weighs less. When the cold air that is displaced weighs more than the balloon, the balloon will rise. The balloons weight is controlled by turning the burner on and off when needed. The hot air is less dense than the outside air and so the balloon is squeezed upwards by the surrounding air. The air becomes less dense as more heat is applied, particles separate more and more when heat is applied. The more heat is applied the further apart and less dense the particles become.
Is compressed air more buoyant than atmospheric air?
Since weight is the measure of an object's gravitational pull, the compressed air does not weigh more. The difference is in the density of the air. A tank filled with compressed air will weigh more than a tank that is filled with air at normal atmospheric pressure.

Why does a hot air balloon rise with hot air?
Hot air is less dense than cooler air. This makes it weigh less then the surrounding air so it rises.
If you trap air in a balloon and put it into warm air will it float?
If the air in the balloon is cooler than the air around it, it will sink. Hot air balloons go up because they weigh less than the air around them.
What gas is in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is inflated with air and then heated by a propane fueled burner. The balloon contains air andthe products of combustion of propane, namely carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, and steam, which is much lighter than air.
A stone weighs 9Newtons in air what does it weigh in water?
Need more info. Either the volume or density of the stone. From the info given all we know is that it will weigh less in the water than in the air.
Why does warm air weigh less than cool air?
Cold air falls and warm air rises. Warmer air rises above cooler air because it is less dense. The particles vibrate and move further apart so the molecules that compose the air are more spread out, causing the warm air mass to weigh less than the cool air.ass
Which gases weigh less than air?
Appended is a list of gases with their specific gravities. The specific gravity of a gas is a comparison of its density with that of air at the same temperature and pressure. Gases with a Specific Gravity (SG) less than1 are lighter than air.
How does hot air balloon stays up?
The air inside the balloon is heated with a propane burner. As air is warmed, it becomes less dense (lighter) and rises.
Is propane lighter than air?
No, air has a density of 1.225 g/l @ 15°C. and Standard Atmospheric Pressure while butane is 2.52 g/l. Butane is more than twice as heavy as air!
What do you add to a plastic bottle filled with cola that weighs one liter to it to make it weigh less than two ounces?
Air
Would helium weigh less than a bottle with no air?
Yes, because the helium is buoyant relative to the atmosphere at ground level. However, the helium would have more mass than the bottle with no air.
