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).
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than 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.)
Aluminum will sink in gasoline because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than that of gasoline (about 0.7g per cc).
No. As long as they're at the same temperature.
Because the overall density of a can is less than the density of water, a solid aluminium pole has a density greater than water

Aluminum will sink in water because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than water (1.0g per cc). A solid object would only float if it displaces more mass than it weighs (i.e., its density is less than water).
A solid bar of aluminum would not float, since its density (almost 3 grams per cc) is greater than that of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter). For an object to float in water, its density would have to be less than 1.0.
Water has a greater density than ice.
Salt water has a greater density.
Aluminum (aluminium) has a higher density than water.
The density of steel is greater than that of aluminium, A centimetre cube of each, if placed on a weighing balance would show that the steel has greater density because its side of the balance arm would sink.
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
If it was solid, no it would not float in water since it would displace less water than its weight. In other words, the density of aluminium is higher than the density of water, and denser objects will sink. If it were a hollow sphere and displaced more weight in water than its own weight, it could float - but that would not be by virtue of the density of aluminum, it would be because it was hollow.
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than water
Same density.
