Can chemical property float?

Chemical properties themselves do not float, as they describe the behavior of substances during chemical reactions, such as reactivity or acidity. However, the physical properties of a substance, like density, determine whether it can float in a given medium. For example, an object with a density less than that of water will float, while one with a greater density will sink. Thus, it’s the physical properties that influence buoyancy, not the chemical properties.


Do things float on kerosene more than oil?

No, things do not float more on kerosene than oil because both kerosene and oil have similar densities. In general, objects will float on a liquid if their density is lower than that of the liquid.


What chemical can makes copper float in water?

Copper itself does not float in water due to its density being greater than that of water. However, if you are referring to a chemical reaction that might cause copper to appear to float, certain chemicals can create a buoyant effect by generating gas bubbles. For example, adding an acid like hydrochloric acid to copper can produce hydrogen gas, which could create enough bubbles to momentarily lift small pieces of copper. However, this is a temporary effect and not a true flotation of the copper itself.


What are the reason why some things float in the water?

Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
