The table lists the densities of some common materials at 20°C.
If a scientist has 10 grams of each material, which material has the greatest volume?
Choose the correct answer
Responses
A. milk
A. milk
B. water
B. water
C. mercury
C. mercury
D. gasoline
To determine which material has the greatest volume, we need to compare their densities. The material with the lowest density will have the greatest volume.
Here are the densities of the given materials:
A. milk: 1.03 grams/mL
B. water: 1 gram/mL
C. mercury: 13.6 grams/mL
D. gasoline: 0.74 grams/mL
Comparing the densities, we can see that gasoline has the lowest density. Therefore, gasoline will have the greatest volume when 10 grams of each material are compared.
So, the correct answer is D. gasoline.
