Question

you have a container of honey, which has a density of 1.5 g/ml. which of the following substances will float in honey and which will sink? drag and drop each substance to the appropriate side. ebony wood beeswax oak wood aluminum float sink

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density - floating principle

Substances with density less than honey's density ($1.5$ g/mL) will float, and those with density greater will sink.

Step2: Know typical densities

Ebony wood density is about 1.1 - 1.4 g/mL, beeswax density is about 0.95 - 0.97 g/mL, oak wood density is about 0.6 - 0.9 g/mL, aluminum density is about 2.7 g/mL.

Step3: Categorize substances

Ebony wood, beeswax and oak wood have densities less than 1.5 g/mL, so they will float. Aluminum has density greater than 1.5 g/mL, so it will sink.

Answer:

Float: EBONY WOOD, BEESWAX, OAK WOOD
Sink: ALUMINUM
