As a general rule, anything that is more dense than the medium they are floating in will sink and things that are less dense than the medium will float. So, if you are looking into whether or not 0.85 g/ml will sink or float in water, which has a density of 1.0 g/ml, then the answer is it will float. The mechanism that will keep the object afloat is the bouancy of the medium. The force of bouancy is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

∙ 15y agoBuoyancy in water is determined by the density in relation to water. Water has a nice and even density of 1.0 grams/cm3. Anything above that will sink, anything below will float. Things that are very close to 1.0 will be half submerged in the water's surface.
Because a mL is equal to one cm3, your object will sink.

∙ 13y agoAs the density of water is 1.0g/ml, anything with a density of 1.0g/ml will possess neutral buoyancy and have an equal tendency to sink or float (retarded only by fluid resistance).
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe density of water is 1 g per cm³.. then your substance has an higher density. This substance would sink in water.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAssuming that the medium in which it is floating/sinking in is water,
It would sink since its density is higher than that of water (1.0gcm^-3)
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. It is less dense than water so it will float.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoWhether it will sink or float will depend upon the density of the fluid you set it in. It should float in water (density is 1.0), but should sink in gasoline (density 0.70).

Would 1.0 gml sink float?
yes it would sink because its more dense than water
Would 0.92 gmL sink or float?
If you mean g/ml in ordinary water then it will float, 8% above water level, 92% below
The density of mercury is 5427 kgm3. If the density of water is 1.0 gmL will mercury float or sink in water?
1. The density of mercury is 13 534 kg/m3.2. Mercury sink in water.
Will an aluminum ball with a density of 2.70 gml sink or float in a beaker of water?
Aluminum will sink in water because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than water (1.0g per cc). A solid object would only float if it displaces more mass than it weighs (i.e., its density is less than water).
How would a substance with a density of 0.95 gmL behave when placed in both oil and water?
When two substances do not mix with each other, the less dense substance will float on the more dense substance. Vegetable oil floats on water. If the mystery substance with d = 0.95 g/mL does not mix with water, then it should float on top of water. If the mystery substance with d = 0.95 g/mL does not mix with vegetable oil, then it should sink in vegetable oil.
If object has mass of 3.5gml is placed in water what will happen?
I think you mean to say density. If I'm right, it'll sink.
What liquids will be the unkown water 9982gmL toluene 8669 gmL clorofomo 14832 gmL ethanol 0789 gmL?
the correct density numbers are the following water= 0.9982 g/mL Toluene= .8669 g/mL Clorofomo 1.4832 g/mL Ethanol= .789 g/mL
How do you know if a compound has a density less than 1 gmL?
If it floats in water, it has a density less than water. Density of water is 1.0 g/mL
What is the percent error if a measured value is 24.59 gmL and the accepted value is 25.49 gmL SCH1.4.1?
3.531%
If the density of water is 1 gram per milliliter (gml) could be the density of the wooden stick to the nearest hundredth?
1.20
What was the density of the water in gmL?
It would be 0.99996 g/ml and to 4 sig. figs. that would be1.000 g/ml
A fish tank holds 15.7 gallons of water Using the density of 1.0 gmL for water determine the number of pounds of water in the fish tank?
