Yes, but also highly soluble / miscible with water, so it won't floate on, but mix quickly with the water. (Density is about 80% of that of water).

Is liquid water less dense then Ice?
No. Ice is less dense than water. Because ice is less dense it displaces less water and floats. Water is most dense at 4o C. any change in temperature, either up or down, lowers the density.
How dense must an object be to float in the water?
Less dense than the water.
When water freezes it expands and becomes more or less dense?
It becomes less dense. Ice will float on water
Why does puffed puri float and flat sink?
Puffing it up makes it less dense. Anything less dense than water can float on water, and anything more dense than water will sink.
Is a cannon ball more or less dense than a water balloon the same size?
less dense
Why will spirits float on water?
Well some do - mineral spirits for example are a hydrocarbon that do float on water. However, others such as methylated spirits are totally water soluble and hence dont float.
What are the benefits of methylated spirits?
less potatoes in the fridge
Why does ice float on water but sinks in methylated spirits?
The density of rubbing alcohol is 75% that of water. Thus ice (frozen water which is roughly equal in density to liquid water), sinks in rubbing alcohol since it has more mass per cubic millimeter than the alcohol does. In order to float, the object would have to be less dense than the alcohol per cubic space.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
What object is less dense than water?
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
Can you make oil less dense than water?
Oil IS already less dense than water.
Is liquid water less dense then Ice?
No. Ice is less dense than water. Because ice is less dense it displaces less water and floats. Water is most dense at 4o C. any change in temperature, either up or down, lowers the density.
What fruit is less dense than water?
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
Is chalk less dense than salty water?
No, it is more dense. If it were less dense it would float.
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
