Question

2.1 evaluate quiz: introduction to matter (sc.8.p.8) quiz instructions 1. read each question and answer choice carefully. 2. select the correct answer. 3. continue until all questions are answered. when finished, follow your teachers directions. question 2 1 pts two separate layers form when two liquids are poured into a graduated cylinder. liquid a has a volume of 16ml and a mass of 87g. liquid b has a volume of 234ml and a mass of 100g. based on this information which liquid will form the top layer? density = mass/volume

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate density of Liquid A

Density of Liquid A = $\frac{87g}{16mL}= 5.4375g/mL$

Step2: Calculate density of Liquid B

Density of Liquid B = $\frac{100g}{234mL}\approx0.427g/mL$

Step3: Compare densities

The less - dense liquid forms the top layer. Since $0.427g/mL<5.4375g/mL$, Liquid B is less dense.

Answer:

Liquid B
