A piece of charcoal is heavier than water but it floats due to it's highly porousness
Water is about 5 times more dense than charcoal. Charcoal floats. (Anything less dense than water floats. More dense than water, it sinks in water)
No, charcoal does not float on oil because it is denser than oil. Charcoal is made from carbon-rich materials and typically sinks in liquids like oil due to its higher density.
Yes, water can float on water. This is because of surface tension, which allows objects with a lower density than water to float on its surface. Items like boats or water bugs can float because of this phenomenon.
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
A balloon filled with air will float on water because it is less dense than water. The buoyant force acting on the balloon allows it to float.

Because that piece of charcoal is lighter that the water, so it floats.
Charcoal is actually heavier than water with a density ranging from 180kg/m3 to 220kg/m3 ,but wood charcoal is porous with many holes in it and contains air this helps in its floating while when air is removed by boiling it settles down
The only way that charcoal (whether of wood, animal, etc.) can float on water is if the total mass of the charcoal is less than the total mass of an equivalent volume of water. This means that the charcoal is not heavier than water, at least not an equal volume of water. If the charcoal was heavier than (an equivalent volume of) water, it would not float.
The simple answer is yes it can float until it becomes waterlogged.
No, charcoal does not float on oil because it is denser than oil. Charcoal is made from carbon-rich materials and typically sinks in liquids like oil due to its higher density.
Yes, charcoal is denser than water. Charcoal has a higher density than water, which means that it will sink in water.
To separate powdered charcoal from a mixture containing copper oxide, just add water. Charcoal is considered quite a bit less dense than water and one set of tables gives the density as circa 400 kg.m-3 . Copper oxide is much more dense than water or charcoal. So the copper oxide will sink to the bottom and the charcoal will float to the top of the water. This can now be decanted and filtered leaving the charcoal on the filter paper which can be dried and to leave charcoal. Then with a separate filtration, the copper oxide and traces of water can be filtered and then dried.
Jeremejevite does not float on water.
Charcoal is more effective for filtering water than coke.
Yes, charcoal filters are effective at removing chlorine from water.
No, charcoal does not dissolve in water because it is a non-polar substance and water is a polar solvent. Charcoal particles do not mix with water at a molecular level; instead, they remain as suspended solids in water.
