The table shows the mass and volume of four different materials. Only one of these four materials will float in water. Which will float in water Physical Properties Sample Mass Volume Number 1 899 10 mL 2 26 10 mL 3 Select one 24 100 160 100
I can't make heads or tails of the numbers because of the spacing problem with the site. However, you can calculate the density of each this way.
density of the material = mass in grams/volume in mL.
After you have all of the numbers, the density of H2O is 1.0g/mL so any material with a density higher than that will sink and a material with a density less than 1 g/mL will float.
To determine which material will float in water based on the given data, we need to compare the density of each material. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
Let's calculate the density for each material:
1. Material 1:
Density = Mass / Volume = 899 g / 10 mL = 89.9 g/mL
2. Material 2:
Density = Mass / Volume = 26 g / 10 mL = 2.6 g/mL
3. Material 3:
Density = Mass / Volume = 24 g / 100 mL = 0.24 g/mL
4. Material 4:
Density = Mass / Volume = 160 g / 100 mL = 1.6 g/mL
Now, let's compare the densities:
The material with the lowest density will float in water. From the calculations above, we can see that Material 3 has the lowest density (0.24 g/mL). Therefore, Material 3 will float in water.
To determine which material will float in water, we need to compare their densities. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.
Let's calculate the densities of the samples:
Sample 1:
Mass = 899 grams
Volume = 10 mL
Density = Mass / Volume = 899 g / 10 mL = 89.9 g/mL
Sample 2:
Mass = 26 grams
Volume = 10 mL
Density = Mass / Volume = 26 g / 10 mL = 2.6 g/mL
Sample 3:
Mass = 24 grams
Volume = 100 mL
Density = Mass / Volume = 24 g / 100 mL = 0.24 g/mL
Sample 4:
Mass = 160 grams
Volume = 100 mL
Density = Mass / Volume = 160 g / 100 mL = 1.6 g/mL
Based on the densities calculated, we can see that Sample 1 has the highest density (89.9 g/mL), followed by Sample 4 (1.6 g/mL), Sample 2 (2.6 g/mL), and Sample 3 (0.24 g/mL).
Since water has a density of 1 g/mL, any material with a density higher than 1 g/mL will sink in water, while those with a density lower than 1 g/mL will float. Therefore, the material that will float in water is Sample 3, which has a density of 0.24 g/mL.
