Moles, Density and Concentration

The reference substance is nearly always water for liquids or

air for gases.
If a substance's specific density is less than one then it is less dense
than the reference; if greater than 1 then it is denser than the
reference.
The density of water is 1 g/cm3, 1000 kg/m3, or 62.43 Ib/ft3 at 4 oC.

Proof 97 of rum is %48.5 alcohol

of Rum 0.485(0.791) 0.515(1) 0.898 g / cm 3

The density of the rum is less than the density of ice, this
makes the ice to sink in the rum
