Question
when the bowl of cereal below was made, the cereal floated to the top when the milk was poured in. which physical property will help separate the mixture? density solubility magnetism
Density is a physical property that describes how much mass is contained in a given volume. Objects with lower density float on substances with higher density. In this case, the cereal has a lower density than the milk, so it floats on top. Solubility refers to the ability of a substance to dissolve in another, which is not relevant here as the cereal does not dissolve. Magnetism is the property of being attracted to a magnet, which also does not apply to this scenario.
