If a certain volume of something (like a beach ball) was the same as a certain amount of water(water the size of the beach ball), but it weighs less, than it will float. An ordinary marble weighs a lot for it's tiny size, and in that case it will CERTAINLY sink in water.
Everything that I said about an amount of something weighing a certain amount of g/kgs/tonnes, is called 'Density', like planet Saturn. This planet is the densiest and CAN float on water if it could...
The density of a substance determines whether it will sink or float in a particular liquid. If the substance's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the substance's density is less than the liquid's density, it will float.
The density of the substance compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. If the substance is denser than the fluid, it will sink. If the substance is less dense than the fluid, it will float.
The density of an object is what determines whether it will sink or float in another substance. If the object's density is greater than the substance it's placed in, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the substance it's placed in, it will float.
A substance floats over another substance if it is less dense. Density is a measure of how much mass is in a given volume, so if one substance is less dense than another, it will float on top. This is due to the buoyant force exerted on the less dense substance by the denser substance.
The density of a substance determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. If an object is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink. This is because objects with a higher density displace less fluid and experience a greater buoyant force, causing them to sink.
If the density of a substance is less than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then it is likely to float. If the density is greater than 1 g/cm^3, it will likely sink. However, the shape and size of the substance can also affect its buoyancy, so it's important to consider other factors as well.
That depends what acid, and what oil, you are talking about. Basically the less dense substance will float on the denser substance.
The density of the substance compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. If the substance is denser than the fluid, it will sink. If the substance is less dense than the fluid, it will float.

water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
The density of an object is what determines whether it will sink or float in another substance. If the object's density is greater than the substance it's placed in, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the substance it's placed in, it will float.
The density of water is roughly 1 gram/cm3. If the density of the substance is less than that, then a solid lump of it can float. Otherwise it can't, but you can form the lump into shapes that can float, just as plate steel is formed into the shape of cruise ship or an aircraft carrier.
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
A human may float in an oily substance. It is more likely that the human will get trapped under the oil and not float.
Solubility
Float
No it will not float because water is .01 and anything heaver will sink.
