Dish soap generally floats on water due to its lower density compared to water. This is because dish soap is less dense than water, causing it to float.
A soap dish is typically designed to float because of its shape and material composition, allowing it to stay on the surface of water. A cake of soap, on the other hand, is more dense and compact, causing it to sink when placed in water.
The process of adding dish soap to water in a sink is a physical change.
No, adding dish soap to water in a sink is not considered a chemical change. It is a physical change because the substances involved do not undergo a chemical reaction to form new substances.
Well a matter of fact, it actually does. It's because the density of dishsoap is more dense then water. :)
No, soapstone does not float in water. It is a dense, metamorphic rock composed primarily of the mineral talc, which makes it heavier than water and causes it to sink.

no, it does the exact opposite.

This is because the displacement of water to the the weight of the metal soap dish and soap is not equalized before the water reaches the top edges of the soap dish. If you had a deeper soap dish than it would most likely float. Also most likely the soap is 'stuck' to the dish so that is why when they sink it will not float on its own. Floating actually has to do with pressure rather than weight. For example a column of water 1 inch square and 1 foot tall, it weighs about 0.44 pounds depending on the temperature of the water so if you take a column of water 1 cm square by 1 meter tall, it weights about 100 grams. That means that a 1-foot-high column of water exerts 0.44 pounds per square inch [psi]. Similarly, a 1-meter-high column of water exerts 9,800Pa [pascals]. So it is the upward water pressure pushing on the bottom of the object that causes it to float. Each square inch (or square centimeter) of the object that is underwater has water pressure pushing it upward, and this combined pressure floats the object.

Soap breaks the surface tension of water. Pepper will only float where there is strong surface tension.
No, you cannot boil water with dish soap. Dish soap is not a heating element and does not generate heat to boil water.

Yes, soap can affect the ability of the paperclip to float because soap lowers the surface tension of water. When the surface tension is reduced, the paperclip may no longer be able to stay afloat and could sink.
