Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Show all work for calculations.
1. Density is defined as per unit .
2. The SI unit for density is .
3. When creating a density column, liquids are layered based on their .
4. Which of the following liquids would settle at the bottom of a density column if mixed with water (density ≈ 1.0 g/mL) and vegetable oil (density ≈ 0.92 g/mL)?
Rubbing Alcohol (density ≈ 0.79 g/mL)
Honey (density ≈ 1.42 g/mL)
Glycerin (density ≈ 1.26 g/mL)
Both b and c
5. What characteristic must liquids possess to form distinct layers in a density column?
They must be miscible.
They must have the same density.
They must be immiscible.
They must have high viscosity.
6. Describe the process of creating a density column with three different liquids, ensuring clear layers are formed.
7. Explain why objects float or sink in a liquid, relating your answer to density.
8. A liquid with a higher density will always float on top of a liquid with a lower density.
True
False
9. Viscosity plays a crucial role in the layering of liquids in a density column, but it does not determine the order of the layers.
True
False
10. Imagine you have a density column with four liquids: A, B, C, and D. Liquid A is at the bottom, followed by B, then C, and D is at the top. If you drop a small plastic bead into the column and it settles between liquid B and liquid C, what can you infer about the density of the bead relative to the densities of the liquids?
