Generate an image that represents the scientific concept of density and buoyancy. The scene should depict two separate containers of liquids side by side. One container is filled with water – use a hue of cool blue to depict this. In this container, a piece of wood, subtly detailed with a grain-like pattern, is floating freely on the surface of the water. The second container is filled with a liquid that symbolizes methylated spirits – use a vibrant purple to differentiate it. In this container, the same kind of wooden piece is at the bottom, signifying that it has sunk.

A piece of wood float on water and sinks in a methylated spirits .if the density of the wood is 0.8g/cm,explain why it would float on water and sink in methylated spirits .what can you say about the methylated spirit

because methylated spirit has a lower density compared to water and the piece of wood! The piece of wood will float on water because water is more denser( 1g/cm3) than wood(0.8g/cm3).

The wood will sink in spirit since the density of methylated spirit is lower.

It's actually a very good reason....

Exactly what I expected 😉👍

Correcto Perfecto👍👍👍

Exactly as I expected.Correctto Perfect🤙👍👍👏

Explain it well

Excellent 👌👌👌✨✨✨✨👊👊👊👊👊👊Bam

This is because water is denser than methyleted spirit

Did not tell me if It would sink or float!!

Very good answer. Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it

Because methylated spirit has a lower density

Yes, that's correct! Water has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³, while methylated spirits have a density of approximately 0.79 g/cm³. Since the density of the piece of wood is 0.8 g/cm³, it is less dense than the water and will float on it. However, it will sink in the methylated spirits as the density of the spirit is less than both the piece of wood and water.

Yes, that's correct! The density of methylated spirits is lower than both the density of water and the piece of wood, which means that the piece of wood will sink in methylated spirits. This is because objects will float in fluids with a density greater than their own density and will sink in fluids with a density lower than their own density.
