Isopropyl alcohol has has a density of 0.786 grams per cubic centimeter g/cm3 . An object has a mass of 13 grams and a volume of 21 cm3. What will happen if this object is placed in Isopropyl alcohol?

since 13g/21cc simplifies to 0.619 g/cc, it has less density than the Isopropyl alcohol, and thus will float.

The object swims because its density is lower.
