Question

a corn syrup sample has a density of 1.43 grams per milliliter at 25°c. use the density values to predict which objects will float or sink when placed in the corn syrup sample.| object | density (g/ml) || ---- | ---- || foam lid | 0.44 || gold ring | 19.30 || six-sided die | 1.20 || wooden bead | 0.71 |wooden beadsix-sided diefoam lidgold ringfloats in the corn syrup samplesinks in the corn syrup sample

Explanation:

Step1: Compare object density to syrup

An object floats if its density is less than the corn syrup density ($1.43\ \text{g/mL}$), and sinks if its density is greater.

Step2: Classify each object

• Foam lid: $0.44 < 1.43$ → Floats
• Gold ring: $19.30 > 1.43$ → Sinks
• Six-sided die: $1.20 < 1.43$ → Floats
• Wooden bead: $0.71 < 1.43$ → Floats

Answer:

Floats in the corn syrup sample: foam lid, six-sided die, wooden bead
Sinks in the corn syrup sample: gold ring
