5. a liquid has a volume of 19.55 ml with a mass of 13.00 grams does not mix or react with water. will the liquid float on top of the water or will it sink below the water, or neither? water density is 1.00 g/ml. provide a reason for your answer.\n$\frac{13}{19.55}=0.66$

5. a liquid has a volume of 19.55 ml with a mass of 13.00 grams does not mix or react with water. will the liquid float on top of the water or will it sink below the water, or neither? water density is 1.00 g/ml. provide a reason for your answer.\n$\frac{13}{19.55}=0.66$

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate liquid density

Density formula is $\rho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m = 13.00$ g and $V=19.55$ mL. So $\rho=\frac{13.00}{19.55}\approx 0.66$ g/mL.

Step2: Compare with water density

Water density is 1.00 g/mL. Since $0.66$ g/mL < 1.00 g/mL.

Answer:

The liquid will FLOAT on top of the water because its density (0.66 g/mL) is less than the density of water (1.00 g/mL).
