With out knowing further knowledge about the rock it is unable to determine the exact density. However, since the rock floats, presumably in water, the density must be less then 1.00g/L.

What rock floats on water?
Floating rocks: pumice. Non-floating rocks: all but pumice. Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.
Does pumice floats in water?
Porous lava rock is called pumice. If placed in water, it would float as it possesses a density that is less than water.
Is pumice a volcanic rock?
Yes,it is a volcanic rock.
What type of rock will float on water?
Any with a density less than the fluid into which it is placed. Pumice is a volcanic rock that will sometimes float on water.pumice
What group of rock does pumice belong to?
Pumice is volcanic or igneous.
What rock floats on water?
Floating rocks: pumice. Non-floating rocks: all but pumice. Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.
What is a light porous volcanic rock called?
Pumice. It floats on water due to its vesicular structure.
How can there be a rock that floats and what are three ways that this rock can be formed?
Very porous rocks such as pumice can be very light and have the potential to float on water. Pumice is a volcanic rock.
How can there be a rock that can float?
Floating (on water) happens when the item place in the water is less dense than the water. The density of the rock called "pumice" is less than that of water so pumice floats. Pumice is a volcanic rock made form a lava "foam" it is solidified rock froth and therefore is very light.
What type of volcanic rock floats?
Some types of pumice have enough air inside to float.
Where do you find a rock that floats?
The on rock that floats is a pumice. It is a kind of volcanic glass. The reason it floats is because it has big pours all over it. I'm only in 8th grade and I still know the answer.
Does pumice floats in water?
Porous lava rock is called pumice. If placed in water, it would float as it possesses a density that is less than water.
What is an igneous rock that is gray and floats in water?
Pumice is a grey volcanic rock so full of gas bubbles that it is able to float on water.
Is pumice a volcanic rock?
Yes,it is a volcanic rock.
What type of rock will float on water?
Any with a density less than the fluid into which it is placed. Pumice is a volcanic rock that will sometimes float on water.pumice
Does pumice have calcite?
No. Pumice is a volcanic rock. Volcanic rocks do not contain calcite.
What rock is formed from volcanic foam?
Pumice is a volcanic "froth".
