10. four different liquids will be separately poured into a single beaker. the liquids are ethanol, milk, oil, and water. the density for each liquid at room temperature is listed in the table below. density of substances at room temperature liquid density (g/ml) ethanol 0.789 milk 1.033 oil 0.918 water 1.000 how will the liquids be arranged from bottom to top in the beaker? a. milk, water, oil, ethanol b. milk, water, ethanol, oil c. water, milk, oil, ethanol d. water, oil, ethanol, milk
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Understand density - layering relationship
Liquids with higher density sink to the bottom.
Step2: Compare the given densities
We have densities: ethanol ($0.789$ g/mL), milk ($1.033$ g/mL), oil ($0.918$ g/mL), water ($1.000$ g/mL).
Step3: Arrange in descending - order of density
$1.033>1.000 > 0.918>0.789$, so milk > water > oil > ethanol.
Answer:
A. milk, water, oil, ethanol
