Gasoline:
Water:
Honey:
Titanium:
Gasoline: float
Water: float
Honey: sink
Titanium: sink
To determine whether each substance will sink or float in corn syrup, we need to compare the density of the substance with the density of corn syrup.
1. Gasoline:
The density of gasoline is approximately 0.74 g/cm3. Since the density of gasoline is less than the density of corn syrup, gasoline will __float__ in corn syrup.
2. Water:
The density of water is about 1 g/cm3. Since the density of water is less than the density of corn syrup, water will __float__ in corn syrup.
3. Honey:
The density of honey typically ranges from 1.36 g/cm3 to 1.42 g/cm3. Since the density of honey is similar to or slightly higher than the density of corn syrup, honey will __sink__ in corn syrup.
4. Titanium:
The density of titanium is approximately 4.5 g/cm3. Since the density of titanium is much higher than the density of corn syrup, titanium will __sink__ in corn syrup.
