Best Answer

depends on the fat content in the milk.More the amount of fat the less is the density of milk.The less the density the more the tendency to float.If the milk is skimmed or fortified skimmed whose density ranges from 1.026 to 1.031 at 35-38*c.whereas the density of sea water is about 1.025,which is more than that of sea water so it will mix up and sink easily in seawater.

Why is easier for things to float in seawater?

I would be thinking the salt is the reason. The salt makes the water more dense, so things that were more dense as compared to the water before become less dense as compared to seawater. So yeah, that's why things are more buoyant in seawater.

Can milk float in water?

Although you might think milk fats would likely float on water, milk also contains other solids like proteins and sugars, which make it barely heavier than water. So usually no - at the same temperature and pressure, ordinary homogenized cow milk would sink in water. A gallon of milk is heavier than a gallon of water.
