Data on making metal float?
You must displace as much water at the metal weighs. So there is equillibrium between the metal and the water.

What is a resin water softner tank made of?
It is a fiberglass or metal tank filled with some kind of resin that collects the impurities in your water.
How ship float on water?
Ships, whether made of wood or metal, have a lighter specific gravity than water. Ships actually displace the water rather than floating on it.
How a ship keeps a float?
It basically wants to push (displace) water away from underneath it. Since the volume of water is always much larger than the actual ship, it will never be able to displace enough water to sink. That is - unless it's damaged below the water-line so water can flood in.

What metal can displace sodium metal from sodium chloride?
You could use potassium, rubidium or caesium. However, there is no practical reason why you would do this. You'd have to do it in the melt, which would be hazardous, as all these metals react with water.
Which would displace more water ounce of silver and ounce of gold?
The metal with the lower density occupies more volume, so it would displace more water. Density of silver = 10.49 g/cm-3 , density of gold = 19.3 g/cm-3, Silver's displacement is greater.
Will a metal always replace a metal?
A metal will not always replace another metal in a compound dissolved in water because metals differ in their reactivities .
Why do metal ships float?
Because the material used to build them is formed into a shape that will displace a lot of water. As the shape settles into the water, once the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object, the object floats at that depth and doesn't settle any further. If the material were all rolled into a solid lump, it would displace much less water, and would sink like a rock.
