∙ 12y agoThey don't actually rise they tend to fall, when they rise it is the result of air currents blowing them upwards.

How can we separate soap and oil from water using a decanter?
Oil float over the water surface; use a decantation funnel for separation.
Can a needle float in soapy water?
Yes it is not possible. Because as soap is added then surface tension would get reduced and so possibility of float becomes less. When we carefully place the same needle on ordinary water floating is quite possible as water has more surface tension
Why is it that a bar of soap normally sinks but not if you put it in a soap case?
This is because the displacement of water to the the weight of the metal soap dish and soap is not equalized before the water reaches the top edges of the soap dish. If you had a deeper soap dish than it would most likely float. Also most likely the soap is 'stuck' to the dish so that is why when they sink it will not float on its own. Floating actually has to do with pressure rather than weight. For example a column of water 1 inch square and 1 foot tall, it weighs about 0.44 pounds depending on the temperature of the water so if you take a column of water 1 cm square by 1 meter tall, it weights about 100 grams. That means that a 1-foot-high column of water exerts 0.44 pounds per square inch [psi]. Similarly, a 1-meter-high column of water exerts 9,800Pa [pascals]. So it is the upward water pressure pushing on the bottom of the object that causes it to float. Each square inch (or square centimeter) of the object that is underwater has water pressure pushing it upward, and this combined pressure floats the object.
Does dolomite sink or float?
Float
Will a boat float on liquid soap?
Yes the boat will float on liquid soap
Can bar soap float?
No, a bar of soap is to heavy to float on anything.
Ivory soap is the only soap that floats Is this fiction or nonfiction?
This is nonfiction. Ivory soap is known to float due to its unique formulation that incorporates air bubbles during production.
Will a paper clip float on soap water?
Yes
What is added to a bar of Ivory soap that causes it to float?

Does Irish Springs bar of soap float?

What chemical makes copper float?
If it is a thin, small piece of copper put it in water with soap and I think it will float Copper will float in Mercury. Copper will float in Uranium Hexafluoride but good luck getting your hands on any of that.
What liquid does gold float on?
Gold can float on water if there's a layer of oil on the surface. To break the surface tension, a drop of Dawn soap will do the trick.
