At room temperature, the density of sodium is slightly less than that of water and it will, briefly, float (briefly, because it will be rapidly reacting with the water, and may in fact be on fire at the time).
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
A density greater than that of water (which varies with temperature).
because salt is higher density than water and dissolves in the water, increasing density
It depends upon the temperatures and purity of the two quantities of water. If they are both at the same temperature and both have the same purity, they will both have the same density as density does not depend upon the volume, but the substance itself. If they are at different temperatures, or have different purities, then they will have different densities, but which would be greater would depends upon which has which temperature and which purity.
Seawater has a greater buoyant force than fresh water because seawater has a higher density than fresh water therefore the buoyancy is higher. *Improved* This happens because when water mixes with the salt in sea water, the density changes to the average density which is around 1.55 g/mL (Average density is the density of different materials put to together )
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
An object with greater mass than volume will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water. The object will displace an amount of water equal to its volume, and it will sink until the weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the object.
Water has a greater density than ice.

The density of sodium silicate can vary depending on its concentration. Typically, a solution of sodium silicate with a concentration of 20-40% will have a density around 1.4 - 1.6 g/cm3.
1. Because the density of sodium chloride is higher than the density of water. 2. Sodium chloride is soluble in water.
Salt water has a greater density.
Sodium shouldn't sink in water at room temperature, because the density of sodium is less than the density of water. The density of sodium at room temperature is 0.968 g/cm3, whereas the density of water at room temperature is 0.998g/cm3. So technically, sodium should float in water, not sink.
The substance with a density of 0.9 g/cm3 would float on water, as its density is less than that of water (1 g/cm3). Objects with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float on water, while those with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 will sink.
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
If an object with a density less than 1.0 g/mL is placed in water with a density greater than 1.0 g/mL, it will float. This is because objects with a lower density than water will displace an amount of water equal to their own weight, causing them to float.
An object will sink in water if its density is greater than the density of water. If the density of the object is less than the density of water, it will float. This is described by Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object.
