Anything will float that weghs less than the weight of the water it displaces. A bale of rags will float in a large amount of water til it absorbs enough water to make it heavier than the water it displaces.
Yes, molasses is denser than water, so it typically sinks rather than floats on water.
Wax typically floats on water due to being less dense than the water. However, the specific gravity of wax can vary depending on its composition and temperature, which might affect whether it sinks or floats.
no, magnesium never floats in acids...........
To carry out a hair porosity test, take a few clean strands of hair and place them in a bowl of water. If the hair sinks quickly, it has high porosity. If it floats, it has low porosity. If it floats in the middle, it has normal porosity. This test helps determine how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture.
No, brown eggs and white eggs will both sink in water with added salt. The density of the egg, not its shell color, determines whether it floats or sinks in water with added salt.
sinks
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.

Styrofoam floats on water, Soap sinks.
The Density.
A submarine sinks as it fills its' ballast tanks with water. Then it uses pressurized air to empty them and float again.
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
A peeled orange floats A not peeled orange sinks
it sinks
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.

You can put it in a glass with water and see if it floats or sinks
