Answer 1

Answer:

Gasoline and water floats, Honey and Titanium sinks.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

A substance with ρ < 1.36 g/cm⁻³ will float on corn syrup.

A substance with ρ > 1.36 g/cm⁻³ will sink in corn syrup

$\begin{array}{rrr}\textbf{Substance} & \mathbf{\rho/g\cdot \textbf{cm}^{-3}}& \textbf{Sink/Float}\\\text{Gasoline} & 0.75 & \text{Float}\\\text{Water} & 1.00 & \text{Float}\\\text{Corn syrup} & 1.36 & -\\\text{Honey} & 1.42 & \text{Sink}\\\text{Titanium} & 4.54 & \text{Sink}\\\end{array}$
