Question

Determine whether each substance will sink or float in corn syrup, which has a density of 1.36 g/cm3. Write “sink” or “float” in the blanks. Gasoline:  Water:  Honey:  Titanium:

Answer 1

gasoline: float

water: float

honey: sick

titanium: sick

Explanation: right on Edge

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• A substance will floats if it is having lower density than the density of the liquid in which it is placed.
• A substance will sink if it is having density greater than the density of the liquid in which it is kept.

Density of corn syrup =
`1.36 g/cm^3`

1) Density of gasoline =
`0.748 g/cm^3`

Density of the gasoline is less than the the density of corn syrup which means it will float in corn syrup.

2) Density of water =
`1 g/cm^3`

Density of the water is less than the the density of corn syrup which means it will float in corn syrup.

3) Density of honey =
`1.45 g/cm^3`

Density of the gasoline is more than the the density of corn syrup which means it will sink in corn syrup.

4) Density of titanium =
`4.506 g/cm^3`

Density of the titanium is more than the the density of corn syrup which means it will sink in corn syrup.
