Predicting Whether an Object Will Sink or Float Instruction
Question:
Use the information provided in the table to predict whether each substance will sink or float in water. Note that the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3.
Answer:
Based on what Kavars said i put
Glass-Sinks
Baby oil-Floats
Maple syrup -Sinks
Wax-Floats
and it is all correct because
Explanation:
Since,the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3.
and
Anything with a greater density than water will sink and anything with a lower density will float
Glass is 2.4 g/cm^3 it is over the water density causing it to sink
Baby oil is 0.83 g/cm^3 causing it to float
Maple syrup is 1.37 g/cm^3 causing it to sink
Wax is 0.93 g/cm^3 causing it to float
