In chemistry class, you are given a density column with golden syrup, water, and oil. Your teacher gives you an unknown substance. The unknown substance is a solid, and it has been determined that the density of the unknown is 7.50 g/cm3. If this unknown solid was placed into the density tube, which of these best describe the outcome?

AIt would float on top of the oil.
BIt would sink directly to the bottom.
CIt would rest between the oil and the water.
DIt would float between the oil and the golden syrup.

Verified Answer :

maybe the bottom because I am pretty sure the oil would be on top so it couldn't be D. because it would originally go Oil , Water , Golden Syrup

Answer:

The correct answer is option B) It would sink directly to the bottom.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!


Generally, solids have a higher density than liquids. In this case the densities are differentiated between the syrup, the oil and the water.

I think the solid would sink to the bottom.


After the explanation, we conclude that the correct answer is option B) It would sink directly to the bottom.
