the densities of alkanes increase with increase in molecuolar masses till the limiting value of about 0.8g/cm^3 is reached. This means that all alkanes are lighter than water. Like alkanes, alkenes and alkynes also have a maximum density of about 0.89g/cm^3. Therefore all hydrocarbons are lighter than water
