Question

If you were to pour 4 different liquids into a glass and the liquids separated into 4 layers, which liquid would have the highest density? A. the layer at the top of the glass B. the third layer from the bottom of the glass C. the layer at the bottom of the glass D. the second layer from the bottom of the glass

Answer 1

Answer:

C. the layer at the bottom of the glass

Explanation:

The liquid with the higher density will be found at the bottom of the glass because is the heaviest of all. The liquids which have a lower density than the liquid at the bottom of the glass will be found at the top of the glass. We assume that the liquids are not soluble in each other because otherwise they will be mixed.

Answer 2

Answer:

A, the layer at the top of the glass.

Explanation:

When liquids of different densities are added to a glass, the liquid with the highest density tends to settle at the bottom and the liquid with the lowest density tends to float to the top of the container.

This is because denser liquids exert more pressure due to gravity, and they are able to push less dense fluids out of their way. - Study island
