Do igneous rocks float?
Most igneous rocks are denser than water, so they do not float. However, some types of igneous rocks, such as pumice, can contain trapped air bubbles which make them less dense than water, causing them to float.
What is the name of a very porous igneous rock that is so light that it floats on water?
Pumice is a very porous igneous rock that is so light that it can float on water. It is formed from volcanic eruptions and has a frothy appearance due to trapped gas bubbles during its solidification process.
What is the only rock floats?
Pumice the only common rock that floats in water. But flotation is a technique often used in the processing of rocks for lab study. For this, very dense fluids are used such as polytungstates, or some heavy chlorinated or brominated liquids. Some of these have a relative density of 3.

Would you expect a light gray igneous rock to be rich or poor in silica?
I would expect a light gray igneous rock to be rich in silica. Light gray color in igneous rocks is often associated with high silica content, which is typical of felsic or granitic compositions.
