Ice from distilled water would be pure. However, everyday ice contains dissolved gasses. For instance, historic greenhouse gas levels can be measured from ice core samples from the Antarctic ice sheet because these gasses were trapped in the layers of ice.

Is there sodium in ice cream?

No, pure ice (frozen water) does not have any sodium in it, because pure ice is just pure water that is frozen, and since water is H2O, and not H2NaO, ice doesn't have sodium in it. Ice will have whatever chemicals or other contaminants in it that were in the water before it was frozen. If the water had salt in it then the ice will be salty too.

An ice cube floats in top water if it is put in the sea water will it float or lower in the water?

The ice cube will float higher in sea water than it will in pure water (more of it will be above the water level). This is because the salt in sea water makes it more dense than pure water, meaning that less water must be displaced to account for the mass of the ice.
