Question

identifying whether a substance sinks or floats
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

Explanation:

Step1: Compare gasoline density with corn syrup density

Since \(0.77\ g/cm^{3}<1.36\ g/cm^{3}\) (gasoline density \( <\) corn syrup density)

Step2: Compare water density with corn syrup density

Since \(1.00\ g/cm^{3}<1.36\ g/cm^{3}\) (water density \( <\) corn syrup density)

Step3: Compare honey density with corn syrup density

Since \(1.38\ g/cm^{3}>1.36\ g/cm^{3}\) (honey density \( >\) corn syrup density)

Step4: Compare titanium density with corn syrup density

Since \(4.43\ g/cm^{3}>1.36\ g/cm^{3}\) (titanium density \( >\) corn syrup density)

Answer:

Gasoline: float
Water: float
Honey: sink
Titanium: sink
