As far as I have seen, soap usually sinks in water. That means it is denser.but this is my opinion not law

The density of water is largely unaffected by soap at typical concentrations. Other properties, such as surface tension and viscosity can change dramatically.

If the soap floats it is less dense, if it sinks it is more dense than water.

What makes ivory soap have less density than other soaps?

The reason Ivory soap is less dense than other soaps is that it is whipped while being made, so that it is full of air bubbles. The air makes the soap less dense so it floats on water. Please see the related link below.

Why does ivory soap floats?

The mixing process used in making Ivory Soap adds air into the bar, reducing its density and making it less dense than water.

Is liquid water less dense then Ice?

No. Ice is less dense than water. Because ice is less dense it displaces less water and floats. Water is most dense at 4o C. any change in temperature, either up or down, lowers the density.


What makes soap float?

Ivory Soap is less dense than water. A bar of ivory soap weighs less than the volume of water it would displace if it were fully submerged. Since the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, that produces a net upward force on it. It will rise in the water until enough of it is sticking out of the water so that the buoyant force is equal (and opposite) to the soap bar's weight. When that happens, it floats, just like in the commercials.
