Er, Does Steel (by itself) Float when placed in water?
(for purposes of this discussion, lets omit masses of steel less than that required to break the water's surface tension, and formulations/constructions of steel purposefully designed to not break the surface tension, both of which are probably possible)
No, ergo steel is more dense in its "usual" formulations & construction.

Which is most dense Steel or Oxygen?
Steel is more dense than oxygen.
Which is more dense lead or water?
Lead is more dense than water.
Why is sea water more dense then fresh water?
Sea water is more dense because the minerals, especially salt, make it more dense.
Is steel denser than water?
Doesn't it depend on how much you have of each?Answer:Steel has a higher density than water. Equal volumes of water and steel will not have the same mass, steel will have a much greater mass.
Is liquid water more dense than ice water?
yes liquid water is more dense than ice water

Is cork more dense than steel?
yes it is a cork is less dense than water
Which is most dense Steel or Oxygen?
Steel is more dense than oxygen.
Which has more dense a steel or foam?
Steel
How does liquid affect the height of which some objects float or sink?
Floating and sinking is related to density - if something is more dense (i.e. has more mass per volume) than the fluid it will sink, and if it is less dense then it will float. This is why wood floats in water, and helium balloons float in air - helium is less dense than air and wood is less dense than water. Steel ships float because, although they are made of steel which is more dense than water, the air inside them is less dense than water so the overall effect is floating.
Why is steel more dence than water?
Steel is more dense than water because it is made mostly of iron, and iron is much denser than water. The density of iron is 7.874g/cm3, while water's density is 1g/cm3.
What is more dense then water?
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
