Question

which of the following correctly orders substances from least dense to most dense? answer options: select one of four aluminum ball, liquid water, ice ice, liquid water, aluminum ball liquid water, aluminum ball, ice liquid water, ice, aluminum ball

Explanation:

To determine the correct order, we recall the densities: Ice floats on liquid water, so ice ($\approx 0.92\ g/cm^3$) is less dense than liquid water ($1\ g/cm^3$). Aluminum (a metal) has a much higher density ($\approx 2.7\ g/cm^3$) than both. So the order from least to most dense is ice, liquid water, aluminum ball.

Answer:

B. Ice, liquid water, aluminum ball (assuming the second option is labeled B; if options are labeled differently, adjust the identifier but keep the text: "Ice, liquid water, aluminum ball")
