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.
The direction of the magnetic field would be going up.
Astronomers can measure it by way of luminosity which is the power of a star or the amount of energy (light) the star admits from its surface. they also measure the brightness of a start as if it were to appear 32.6 light years from Earth
