What are two substances that will float on water?
Oil and wood are two substances that will float on water due to their lower density compared to water.
Will alcohol sink or float?
Alcohol is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water. However, if the alcohol is mixed with other substances that increase its density, it may sink.
Does fire float on water?
Many combustible substances (substances that will burn) are lighter (less dense) than water and will float - paper, wood and gasoline are a few examples. When ignited (set on fire), these substances will continue to float, and so will the fire.
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
If a substance floats in water, it is less dense than water. This means that its mass per unit volume is lower than that of water. Substances with lower density will float on top of substances with higher density.
Does a less dense liquid float?
Yes, less dense liquids float on top of denser liquids. This is due to buoyancy, where objects with less density displace an equal weight of the denser fluid, causing them to float. This principle is why substances like oil float on water.
What are two substances that will float on water?

What substances will float in water?

Why don't mostsubstance float in air if they float in water?

Does adding certain substances to water make boats float better?
Yes, if it makes the water denser, the boat will float easier. For example, it is easier to float in salty water.
Which soild substances will float in water?
Wood and styrofoam, to name two.
Why do most substances float in air if they flow in water?
I suspect that "flow" is meant to also be "float", but even with that substitution, it just changes the question from nonsensical to counterfactual.Most things that float in water do not float in air.
What can float on water?
Any object with a density lower than 1 g/cm3.
Would a human finger sink or float?
A human finger would generally float in water due to its density being lower than that of water. However, factors like oil or other substances on the finger could affect this.
Will alcohol sink or float?
Alcohol is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water. However, if the alcohol is mixed with other substances that increase its density, it may sink.

What substances float on oil?
All materials with a density greater than the density of this oil.
When milk is mixed with gasoline which substances will float?
The fats (i.e. cream) from the milk will dissolve in the gasoline and the the resulting gasoline/cream solution will float on the water from the milk.
