Question

5. There are several items in a graduated cylinder. Given are the densities. What order
would you observe them? Water (1.0 g/ml) ebony (1.2 g/ml) bamboo (0.40 g/ml)
mercury (13.6 g/ml) gasoline (0.70 g/ml)

Answer 1

Answer:

The order of items in the graduated cylinder from top to bottom will be -:

Bamboo, Gasoline, Water, Ebony, Mercury

Explanation:

• Density is known as mass per unit volume.

$\[\text{Density}=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\]$

• Substance with lower density will float on the top of substance with higher density.

• Order of density of the items in graduated cylinder is -:

Mercury > Ebony > Water > Gasoline > Bamboo

• Bamboo $\[\left( 0.40g/ml \right)\]$ has the least density i.e. it will be on the top of all the items present in the graduated cylinder.

• Mercury $\[\left( 13.6g/ml \right)\]$ has the highest density i.e. it will be at the bottom of all the items present in the graduated cylinder.

• Thus, the order of items in graduated cylinder will be in order of increasing density  -:

Bamboo, Gasoline, Water, Ebony, Mercury
