Answer:

A quick way of describing density is to describe an object as heavy or light for its size. Pumice stone, unlike regular rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density. An ironwood branch is very dense and sinks in water.

Hope that helps. x

Answer:

Pumice is trapped in gas when the temperature is warm, but as the temp drops, it becomes dense, due to air bubbles. Iron wood is denser than water, thus making it sink.

How would you go about separating the components of a mixture of sand, gravel, salt and iron filings
larisa86 [58]

Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.
