Less than that of the substance it is floating on.

∙ 14y agoThe density of the object has to be more than the density of the water.

∙ 14y agoFor an object to float in a fluid, its density must be less than that fluid. So for an object to float in water it must have a density of less than about 1g/cm^3

∙ 13y agoWater is 1 g/ml so to float on water < 1.00 - 0.99 will float just.

∙ 13y agobarely- it would not quite sink either. It would be just below the surface.

∙ 10y agodensity of water=1.00 If an object (solid) has a density lower than the density of water, it will float. If it has a density higher, it will float.

Is the volume per gram of a substance is a chemical extensive property?
If you mean gram/volume, which is density, it is an intensive property.
Will Saturn float or sink if you place water?
Float. The problem is whether you can find a bathtub big enough for it :D
Where would an ice cube with a density of.92 grams per mililiter be found in a container of water?
At the 'top' - it would float in the water because it is less dense than water (water is 1 gram per millilitre).
How do you find the density of floating objects?
Density: is when something has alot of weight, and obviously is very heavy Floating: is when something is light and is not as dense
What has the density of a 30 gram object with a volume of 2 mL?
Use the definition of density, as mass / volume. 2g / 10ml = 0.2g/ml (That would float, by the way. You would need to push it down to get an accurate reading. And, of course, compensate for the volume of the pushing device.)
What is a substance with a density less than 1 gram a milliliter?
Such a substance will float on water, if that's of any help.
How will the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will float in water?
The density of water is roughly 1 gram/cm3. If the density of the substance is less than that, then a solid lump of it can float. Otherwise it can't, but you can form the lump into shapes that can float, just as plate steel is formed into the shape of cruise ship or an aircraft carrier.

What would not float on water?
Anything with a density greater than 1 gram per cm3 .
What will the density of any object be if they want that object you to float?
An object will float in water if its density is lower than water which means that for an object to float, its density needs to be less than ~1 gram/centimeter^3,
Would ebony float if it has a density of 1.2 grams per cm cubed?
If it were to be tested on water, it would sink because the density of water is about 1 gram per cm cubed, and ebony has a larger density.
