Question

The volume of 50g of a substance is 20 cm^3.the density of water is 1gcm^-3,will the substance sink or float

Answer 1

density=mass/volume=50/20=2.5kg/m^3
this density is higher than that of water

so it will sink

Answer 2

_/\_Hello mate__here is your answer--

_______________________

⭐ CONCEPT:-- If the density of an object is more than the density of a liquid, then it sinks in the liquid. On the other hand, if the density of an object is less than the density of a liquid, then it floats on the surface of the liquid.

________________________

Mass of sub. , M= 50 g

Volume of sub., V= 20 cm^3

density of the substance

= M/V

=50/ 20

= 2.5 g/cm^3

The density of the substance is more than the density of water (1 g cm^−3). Hence, the substance will sink in water.

I hope, this will help you.☺

Thank you______❤
