Question

The volume of 50 g of a substance is 20 cm³. If the density of water is 1 g cm-z, will the substance float or sink?

Answer 1

Mass = 50 g

Volume = 20 cm^3

${\implies Density =\dfrac{Mass\:of\:Substance}{Volume}}$

${\implies\dfrac{50g}{20cm^{3}}}$

= 2.5 g cm^-3

Density of substance is greater than water

Hence

Substance sink in water

Answer 2

Answer:

substance will sink

Explanation:

mass of substance = 50g

volume = 20 cm^3

Density = $mass of substance\\ volume$

= $50g\\ 20cm^3$

=2.5 g cm^3

Density of substance is greater than water

Hence, the substance will sink
