There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table, and the f-block columns (between groups 3 and 4) are not numbered. The elements in a group have similar physical or chemical characteristics of the outermost electron shells of their atoms (i.e., the same core charge), as most chemical properties are dominated by the orbital location of the outermost electron. There are three systems of group numbering. The modern numbering group 1 to group 18 is recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It replaces two older naming schemes that were mutually confusing. Also, groups may be identified by their topmost element or have a specific name. For example, group 16 is variously described as the oxygen group and as the chalcogens.

The third answer is the one you want. You have to have an adjustable density. All other things being equal, if the tanks you use for holding just water when filled with water will let the sub sink, because the sub is made of a dense metal like iron or steel.
If on the other hand you fill these tanks with air, the net density will be below one and the sub will rise.
Answer:
The procedure you will use in this exercise exploits the difference in acidity and solubility just described.
(a) you will dissolve your unknown in ethyl acetate (an organic solvent). All of the possible compounds are soluble in ethyl acetate.
(b) you will extract with sodium bicarbonate to remove any carboxylic acid that is present.
(c) you will extract with sodium hydroxide to remove any phenol that is present.
(d) you will acidify both of the resulting aqueous solutions to cause any compounds that were extracted to precipitate.
