If a 5.0cm3 sample of aluminum has a mass of 13.5grams will float in water?

No, since it's denser than water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, in this case, 13.5 dividied by 5 .. which is greater than 1, the density of water. If the quotient was less than 1 (or density less than one gram per cubic centimeter), it would float in water.

Can you make aluminum float in water?
yes
How can aluminum foil float in water?
A thin aluminum foil can float on water if placed carefully flat on the surface because of the surface tension of water. If you were to submerge it, the foil will sink.
Does aluminum soda cans float in water?
Yes, if is empty.
Is aluminum foil float on water?
A thin aluminum foil, (which is denser than water) could float on the surface if carefully placed, by virtue of the surface tension of water. But if submerged, the foil would sink due to its higher density. Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. (An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight.)
Will aluminum pellets float in water?
Not if the pellets are solid. Aluminum will sink in water because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than water (1.0g per cc).
Does aluminum powder float or sink?
Float
Will a lump of aluminum sink or float?
Sink
Can you make aluminum float in water?
yes
How can aluminum float on water?
Shape the aluminum to look like a boat, so it displaces enough water to float. The force supporting the aluminum is the buoyant force. It is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced.
Does aluminum powder float in salt water?
Yes
Why does a aluminum can float?
the air inside the can keeps it afloat
Which one of these are most likely to float on water is it a lead bar an iron nail or aluminum?
Aluminum.

An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density.
Can you make a piece of aluminum foil float in air?
yes
Does aluminum soda cans float in water?
Yes, if is empty.
Do aluminum can peices sink or float?
Answer #1: float.==========================Answer #2:The density of aluminum is 2.7 gm/cm3.So, just like steel, if you shape a piece of it just right so that it displacesenough water, you can make it float. But a lump of it will sink in water.
