Question

at 25°c, a grape has a density of 1.08 grams per milliliter, and a corn syrup sample has a density of 1.43 grams per milliliter. what will happen when the grape is placed in a beaker containing the corn syrup? the grape will sink to the bottom of the beaker. the grape will float on the surface of the corn syrup.

Explanation:

An object floats in a fluid if its density is less than the fluid's density, and sinks if its density is greater. Here, the grape's density ($1.08\ \text{g/mL}$) is less than corn syrup's density ($1.43\ \text{g/mL}$), so it will float.

Answer:

The grape will float on the surface of the corn syrup.
