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).
This solid must have a density less than that of water but higher than methylated spirits. It could be made of materials like wood or cork, which are less dense than water but more dense than methylated spirits. This difference in densities causes the solid to float in water but sink in methylated spirits.
Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.
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.
Yes, less dense objects float in water because they are lighter than the water they displace.
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the 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.

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.
Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.
no
Ice is less dense than water
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Oil IS already less dense than water.
