Question

The density of corn syrup is 1.38 g/cm3.. . Which substance will float in corn syrup? A. graphite (2.16 g/cm3). B. glycerin (1.26 g/cm3). C. copper (8.9 g/cm3). D. silver (10.5 g/cm3)

Answer 1

"Glycerin" is the one substance among the following choices given in the question that will float in corn syrup. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

Answer 2

Answer: B. glycerin (1.26 g/cm3).

Explanation: The substances with higher value of density than the density of corn syrup will sink and the substances with lower value of density than the density of corn syrup will float.

A.  graphite : has a density of $2.16g/cm^3$ which is higher than the density of corn syrup which is $1.38g/cm^3$, Thus it will sink.

B. glycerin: has a density of $1.26g/cm^3$ which is lower than the density of corn syrup which is $1.38g/cm^3$, Thus it will float.

C. copper :has a density of $8.9g/cm^3$ which is higher than the density of corn syrup which is $1.38g/cm^3$, Thus it will sink.

D. silver: has a density of $10.5g/cm^3$ which is higher than the density of corn syrup which is $1.38g/cm^3$, Thus it will sink.
