Mercury I think
From the physics point of view:
any liquid that has a Density higher than Lead will allow Lead to float on it.
This is why if you make Custard at just the right consistency using a specific type of flour with a specific flour to custard ratio and fill a swimming pool with the mix you could walk across it with out sinking. The reason I am not going to give specific instructions on how to do this is because if you get the custard mix right it acts a bit like quick sand if you stop moving. Once you stand still on it you start to sink and the custard mix will hold you in the swimming pool as you sink. It could be very dangerous. So no specific instruction on how that can be done, just that it is possible. That said That same mix of custard will also allow lead to float.

Does lead float on alcohol?
No.Lead has a very high density and will not float in alcohol
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
Does ammonia sink or float?
Sink or float... on what? - The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the fluid (gas or liquid) in which it is placed.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
Does lead float or sink in liquid mercury?
Lead floats in mercury.
Will a boat float on liquid soap?

Why do object flout or sink?

it will float
Can you float on Pluto?
You can't float but you can fly. (Floating implies liquid, and Pluto has no liquid that we know of).
Why does one liquid float on one another?
The liquid which is less dense will float on top of the liquid which is more dense. Density affects the liquid's level.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
What Is the relationship between density of a liquid and the objects that float or sink in the liquid?
An object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
Why can a lead block only float in mercury?
With a density of 13.5 g/cm3, mercury is the only liquid (at least at room temperature) denser than lead which has a density of 11.3 g/cm3.
How an object floats in liquid?
i think you mean how does an object float if you did here is the answer most solids float on liquid because it has air in it (sponge) or it is lighter than the liquid.
