A Test Liquid Has A Density Of 1.1g/ml. When You Pour Some Of It Into A Cup Of Water, What Will Happen (assuming that their natures are such that they don't mix & that there is no chemical reaction between the two substances)? Choose a.b.c. or d.
A The test liquid will float on the top of the water in the cup.
B. The test liquid will sink to the bottom of the cup
c. The test liquid will form a band in the middle of the cup.

You are correct.
More dense liquids will sink in less dense liquids OR less dense liquids will float in more dense liquids (assuming the two don't mix and they aren't soluble in each other).
