Interesting Question. I would say Yes. However, be aware that there is another force that could hold the ice cube. That is viscosity. Viscosity is a force resists movement of fluid over a solid surface. For the cube to "float" means the weight of the cube of ice is lighter than the weight of the ketchup that it displaces.
Two different forces going on.

What liquids don't make ice float?
A liquid that is less dense than ice. Pure alcohol is 70% of the density of water- and ice would not float in it.
Is ice less dense than air?
If it were, it would float in air. Does it float in air? There's your answer.
How do you get a penny out of an ice cube?
You melt the ice cub
Why is it good water expands when frozen?
If ice didn't expand during freezing it wouldn't float. If ice didn't float, the oceans would be frozen and life would most likely never have developed.
Why does cold ketchup flow faster?
its ice
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
What makes ice cream float in a root beer float?
The density in the ice cream.
Is ice cub a Muslim?
no he isnt a muslim
Will the densiy of 93 ice will it sink or will it float?
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
Do ice float in water?
yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.
Do ice cubes in water float or sink?
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
