∙ 14y agoThere are very few things that are entirely insoluble in all solvents, but some of the most inactive are:
- Gold (and other precious metals such as Platinum, Iridium, Osmium, ...)
- Wax
- Glass
- Chrome-Nickel Steels
- Lead
- Some polymers (polythene, poly ethylene glycol, polyvinyl chloride, ...)

i.e whose density is greater than 1 g/cm3

Why does a trash bag float when filled with air?
The simple answer is that the density of air is less than the density of water. So a trashbag full of air will float on water. The more complex answer is that floating vs sinking depends on the displacement of water. Let's forget the trashbag, and think of a gallon milk jug. A pint, a pound, the world around... a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. So, if you take a milk jug and fill it with air, it will weigh less than 8 pounds. Thus, it will displace less than 8 pounds of water and it will float. Now, fill it completely full of water (try to eliminate all air bubbles). It might float a little bit due to the density of the plastic being less than water, but it will displace 8 lbs of water (a gallon of water), and then will essentially sink or submerge. Now, empty the milk jug and add 4 lbs of lead shot. The jug will now displace 4 lbs of water (a half gallon) (the weight of the shot), and the rest of the jug will float. Now try 10 lbs of lead shot. It still may have some air in the top. But, once it displaces the 8 lbs of water (1 gallon), it will have 2 more pounds of shot (which will now weigh 2 lbs in the water), and it will sink.
How buoyancy works?
The concept begins with Displacement, which is when water is Incompressible, objects Immersed in water will displace an amount equal to their own volume.The concept of buoyancy then explains that when the object has density and therefore weighs less than that of the water it displaced, it floats. Therefore if a solid block weighs 10 pounds, but it displaces 9.9 pounds of water, so long as itdoes not absorb water and become heavier, it will just barely stay afloat.All boats float using this principle.
What is the density of an object mass that is 60 and volume of 30?
In pure water the object would not sink. Density is given by mass/volume, and this object would have a density of less than one, which is less than the density of water. Therefore, the object would float.
Does oil sink?
A material's ability to float or sink depends on its density and the density of the liquid that it is in. Anything that has a greater density will sink in a liquid with a lower density. In order for oil to sink in water, oil has to have more density than water.Oil is typically less dense than water and so it will float above the water. Since density is mass divided by the volume, theoretically, we can increase density by squishing all of the oil together to decrease the volume (but this is not feasible, maybe next to impossible). Another way to do it is to heat both of the oil and the water. When heated, most materials decreases their density but not at the same rate because of the difference in material properties. Certain oils has a low coefficient of expansion. And so, when heat is added to the water and the oil, the oil density will remain close to its original value while the water density decreases. Once the water density is lower than that of oil density, the oil will sink.In short, oil could sink in water, but as a general rule, oil will float on water.
If a mineral is 10 times heavier than water what is its specific gravity?
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10

How salty does the water have to be for an egg to float?
The sea has to have at least 4 tablespoons of salt in order for an egg to float.

float
How would you determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc?
using water displacement because it doesnt float on water and it doesnt dissolve in water
When would object float or sink in water?
it depends on a lot of things like what the object is its weight if is has holes what its made of the density of the water the air the pressure and if the thing is floating in calm water or rippling water well in other words it depends by the way i am 10 years old and in fifth grade
Does dissolved salt float in a cup of water?
You can dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in one cup of water. Slightly (10%) more if the water is boiling.
Would a piece of cork that is 10 miles wide and 10 feet tall float in a giant pool of water?
Yes. The ability of cork to float in water is a result of its low density. The same principle applies to large ships at sea: while the ship itself is very large and very heavy, the air trapped inside the hull of the ship reduces the ship's average density to less than that of the water, so it will float.

Why does only 10 percent of the iceberg float on top of water?
Yes. The rule of thumb is 20 percent is visible above the water. Yes, they do float, however i believe that it's 10% that is visible due to the density of ice (0.9 g/cm) and the density of water (1g/cm). So .1 or 1 tenth of the iceberg is above the surface. (10%)

What is specific gravity of crude oil?
Specific gravity of crude oil is how light or heavy it is compared to water. If the API gravity is less than 10 it will float in water.
