If you throw a glass of water into the air when it is extremely cold can it freeze before it hits the ground?
In most conditions, no. Assuming you have the glass of water sitting at the same temperature as the outside environment, if the external temperature is low enough to be below freezing temperature (0 Celsius/32 Fahrenheit) then the water in the glass would already be frozen before it was thrown. However, let's assume the water is in an above-freezing environment, then quickly taken into a below-freezing environment, and thrown from the glass before it can freeze inside the glass. I've seen videos of this happening, and the flying water particles do indeed freeze in mid-air, however since the water is so dispersed in the air it doesn't turn into a chunk of ice like you might expect, instead it turns into something resembling snow as it's thrown and flutters out in a cloud. From what I hear, for this to happen it needs to be somewhere around -50 Fahrenheit.
How can you tell if you have sea glass?
You will be able to determine if you have sea glass on the beach if the texture is frosted and slightly pitted, you may even see small "C" shapes in the glass. There are a wide range of pieces that you may come across from barely finished, like a recent bottle thrown into the sea or a piece that has spent 50 to 100 years in the ocean tumbling its way back to land. Artifically tumbled sea glass, is sea glass that has never even been in the ocean, but broken pieces thrown into a tumbler. You can tell the difference by holding the piece up to the light. It is too perfect. Too smooth and missing the qualities listed above. Only Genuine Natural Sea Glass Has Spent Its Travels In The Ocean. If you walk the beach look down and if you see something sparkling in the sand, you may have just come across a gem from past.
Is silicon dioxide a sulfite?
No, Silicon dioxide does not dissolve in water. Better said, much less than glass does (glass is solid solution of silicon dioxide and alkaline metal oxides)
Does obsidian float?
No, not unless it is somehow shaped into a form that displaces less water than it's mass. Obsidian is volcanic glass, glass is much denser than water, therefore sinks.

Can a fresh snowball - if very tightly squished together - break glass?
Yes, but not all glass under ordinary circumstances. Ordinary window glass can be broken by a snowball (I have seen it happen). Plate glass and automotive glass are more resistant to breakage. Also, snowballs sometimes have extraneous objects, such as pebbles, packed into them, and these can break even more resistant glass. All of this depends, of course, on how hard the snowball is thrown. If the person throwing the snowball is moving, for example in a vehicle, or the snowball is thrown downward to accelerate under gravity, or the snowball hits a moving vehicle, even a soft snowball could break resistant glass.
