what you do is an experiment. get a bowl with 3 cups of normal water. then get another bowl with 3 cups of salt water. then get some items to test it with. after you tried an item clean it and dry it. do the test more than once

Will a gas bottle with pressurized air float better then one with normal air?

Why do things float in the air?
things float in air because of density
Do things float in alcohol?
Yes. For every fluid, there are things that float in it ... they just have to be things that are less dense than the fluid. That's how stones float in mercury, logs float in water, and hot balloons float in air.
Why wont a paper boat float on normal water?
Because a paper boat does not have balance to float
Why do things float and some things sink?
