Charcoal is actually heavier than water with a density ranging from 180kg/m3 to 220kg/m3 ,but wood charcoal is porous with many holes in it and contains air this helps in its floating while when air is removed by boiling it settles down
Yes and no it depends on what the powder is, water will dissolve salt sugar and other powder like them but will not dissolve most other things, it usually only lets in things that can make a hydrogen bond.
so in charcoal powder it could be used,especially if you are in the place which are not easily getting materials like in a rural place, so in that case the charcoal powder is used in getting fingerprint impression.
Yes, charcoal is denser than water. Charcoal has a higher density than water, which means that it will sink in water.
Mixing barbecue charcoal powder with cordial and filtering it will likely result in a dark, gritty liquid that may have a smoky flavor and possibly a grainy texture. The charcoal powder may add a subtle smoky taste to the cordial, but it's not recommended due to the potential health risks associated with consuming charcoal.
When carbon powder is added to water, the carbon powder will float on the surface of the water due to its low density. If stirred, the carbon powder may disperse throughout the water temporarily before settling back on the surface. Over time, the carbon powder may eventually sink to the bottom of the container due to its insoluble nature.
Charcoal powder is considered insoluble in water. It does not dissolve in water and remains as solid particles.
Aluminum powder will sink in water because it is denser than water.
A piece of charcoal is heavier than water but it floats due to it's highly porousness
Water is about 5 times more dense than charcoal. Charcoal floats. (Anything less dense than water floats. More dense than water, it sinks in water)
Because that piece of charcoal is lighter that the water, so it floats.
Yes
Yes and no it depends on what the powder is, water will dissolve salt sugar and other powder like them but will not dissolve most other things, it usually only lets in things that can make a hydrogen bond.

The simple answer is yes it can float until it becomes waterlogged.
The only way that charcoal (whether of wood, animal, etc.) can float on water is if the total mass of the charcoal is less than the total mass of an equivalent volume of water. This means that the charcoal is not heavier than water, at least not an equal volume of water. If the charcoal was heavier than (an equivalent volume of) water, it would not float.
To make ink using charcoal, grind the charcoal into a fine powder. Mix the charcoal powder with a binding agent like water or gum arabic to create a paste-like consistency. Adjust the thickness by adding more or less of the binding agent based on your preference.
No, charcoal does not float on oil because it is denser than oil. Charcoal is made from carbon-rich materials and typically sinks in liquids like oil due to its higher density.
