Leaving aside the question of whether the liquid will mix with whatever it is meant to float (or not) upon, the answer depends on what substance it is required to float upon. If Mercury, yes, it will float (if it does not mix). Pure water, it certainly will not (but could mix).

What is a good a object that will float holding marbles?
A good object that will float is a plastic container. It worked for me. Yes a plastic container will work well it worked in my science class.
You toss a coin into a wishing well full of a liquid denser than the coin. will the coin sink?
no, it will float on the surface
If you toss a coin into a liquid that in denser than the coin what would happen?
The coin would float.
What would happen to a liquid or solid that has a lower density than water is placed in container of water?
Lower density materials float in higher density fluids. This does not occur if two miscible fluids are miscible (dissolve in each other). In that case the one fluid mixed with the other (e.g. alcohol and water)
How does Archimedes principle relate to covection?
I assume you mean "convection". The hotter liquid or gas is less dense, so it has less weight per unit volume, and it tends to float (move upward).
Will an object weighing 85 grams sink or float?
It is not just the weight matter in floatation or sinking.The shape,surface area or the base liquid that matters.For eg. a very flat sheat of iron weighing 85gm will float in water but a bead(ball )of iron weighing 85gm will sink.On the other hand an iron bead of 85gm will float in mercury.
How do liquids take shape of the container they are poured into?
The different layers are formed because the two liquids are not compatible, or do not mix well. The order of the layers is always from the densest liquid on the bottom to the least dense liquid on top. For example, oil and water, water is denser so it sinks to the bottom and the oil floats. Liquids may form layers whether or not they are of equal volume.
What is used to separate solids that floats from the remaining liquid in a mixture?
A method commonly used to separate solids that float in a liquid mixture is called filtration. This involves passing the mixture through a filter that traps the solid particles while allowing the liquid to pass through. Another method is decantation, where the liquid is carefully poured off, leaving the solids behind in the container.
How would you know if a liquid was denser than water?
because when you add it to water, it will go to the bottom of the container and the water will float above it
Why can liquids float on each other?
Liquids can float on each other due to differences in their densities. When a less dense liquid is poured on top of a denser liquid, it will float because it is lighter and less likely to sink. This is known as stratification, where liquids of different densities form layers with the least dense liquid on top.
Will a boat float on liquid soap?
Yes the boat will float on liquid soap
What would happen if you poured liquid helium into liquid nitrogen?
If you pour liquid helium into liquid nitrogen, the helium will not mix with the nitrogen and will instead form separate layers. Helium is lighter than nitrogen and has a lower boiling point, so the helium will tend to float on top of the nitrogen.
Why do some objects float when placed in a container filled with a liquid while other sink?
Objects float or sink in a liquid based on their density compared to the density of the liquid. If the object's density is less than that of the liquid, it will float. If its density is greater, it will sink. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
Can we use float cullet in container glass?
Cullets doesn't float on water.
What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
Do milk containers float?
It depends if the carton is full or not. If the carton is empty, then it will float. If their is milk in the container, then it won't float.
What would happen if you have 2 liquids with different densities in the same container?
The liquid with higher density will settle at the bottom, while the one with lower density will float on top due to the principle of buoyancy. The liquids will not mix and will form distinct layers based on their densities.
