As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

#12 please! worth 40 points
Serga [27]
Okay so because of the difference in density a simple method for telling the difference between the two is to put a sample in a container with oil, because water has a higher density than the oil it would sink to the bottom but alcohol on the other hand is lighter than oil and would float on top of the oil.

However with this question I think that what you would do is use the ice to find out what the substance is, it would float on top of the liquid if it were water because the water is denser than ice but the ice would sink if it was alcohol because the alcohol is less dense than ice. 


I hope this helps you, good luck : )
