It will definitely float.
it's all about density. Density= weight/volume
D= 157/412=0.38 g/cm3 < 1 g/cm3 for water.
It will not only float, but also, will float more than half of the material above the water.

Would chromium float or sink in Mercury?
Chromium, with a density of 7.19 gm/cubic centimeter, will float on liguid mercury, with a density of 13.5 gm per cubic centimeter.
A block has a mass of 455 g and a volume of 600cm what is the blocks density and will it sink or float in freshwater?
The formula for calculating density is:density = mass/volumeThe given mass and volume for the block is 455 g and 600 cm3 respectively.Therefore the density of the block is455 g / 600 cm3 = 0.7583 g/cm3 (grams per cubic centimetre)Since the density of freshwater is 1 g/cm3, this block will float because its density is less than that of the water.
What is the density of liquid?
Depending on the type of liquid it is the exact density is different. In general liquid densities are lower than those of solids, because the molecules are spread out in liquid form. Notable exception Hg (Mercury) with a density of 13,6 on which both iron and lead float! Divide the mass by the volume (in SI units kilograms divided by liters or equivalently grams divided by cubic centimeters)
Will plastic measure 4centimeters 2centimeters and 3centimeters its mass is 19.2 grams will it float in olive oil?
To answer this you need to know the density of Olive oil and the density of the plastic.Olive oil has a density of between 0.8 - and 0.92 at standard room temperatures (you can look this up on the web).Your plastic object has a volume of 4 times 2 times 3 = 24 cubic centimeters and weighs 19.2 grams.One cubic centimeter of the plastic would therefore weigh 19.2 divided by 24 = 0.8 and this value is also its density (grams per cc).Thus the answer is that the plastic would float on the dense type of Olive oil but would be neutrally buoyant in the less dense types.
Will Saturn float or sink if you place water?
Float. The problem is whether you can find a bathtub big enough for it :D
If you the mass and volume of an object how can you predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
Would an object of g in volume and cm cubed be able to float in water?
An object will float in water if it has less density than the water. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume. For comparison, the density of water is: * 1 gram / cubic centimeter * 1 kilogram / liter * 1000 kilograms / cubic meter
How do you calculate if a block of wood will float in water or not?
If the density of the block is less than the density of water, then the block will float. Density of water is close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So measure the block and calculate its volume (Length x Width x Height). Use a scale to find the block's mass. Then divide mass/volume to calculate density. If you've measured in grams and centimeters, then the units will be g/cm³, then compare this to 1 g/cm³.
How can you use the density of an object to predict if it will sink or float?
If the density is less than '1' , it will float. If the density is greater than '1' it will sink. Humans have a density of about 0.97 , so we float. Remember Archimedes Principle. 'The weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced'.
Would chromium float or sink in Mercury?
Chromium, with a density of 7.19 gm/cubic centimeter, will float on liguid mercury, with a density of 13.5 gm per cubic centimeter.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

Can you use volume alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
What is the density of an object that has a mass of 350 g and a volume of 95 cm3?
Divide the mass of the object by it's volume in your question 350 g / 95 cm3 to find density. Your answer will be 3.7 g cm-3 ( grams per cubic centimeter).
What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
What is density and how can it be calculated?
density is whether an object can float or not.To calculate it you need to divide mass over volume. MASS = DENSITY VOLUME
What liquid is the density?
Depending on the type of liquid it is the exact density is different. In general liquid densities are lower than those of solids, because the molecules are spread out in liquid form. Notable exception Hg (Mercury) with a density of 13,6 on which both iron and lead float! Divide the mass by the volume (in SI units kilograms divided by liters or equivalently grams divided by cubic centimeters)
How can you tell if an object will sink or float before you throw it into a freshwater pond?
Calculate the object's density. If the density is less than that of fresh water it will float, if it is more it will sink in fresh water. Density is the mass of the object divided by its volume. The density of fresh water is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter, or 1 kg per litre.
