Which Steroids Have The Highest Density?
Which fluids have the highest density? The lowest? What does this tell us about which fluids will be on the top or bottom in the same container?
Density is the comparison of the volume of an object to the matter. The fluid with the highest density is honey, while alcohol stands in the place of the lowest. The density of the fluids determines where each layer should be arranged in the glass container. Honey had a high density of 1.52g/mL, and with the high density comes high viscosity, which is why honey was poured first, becoming the bottom layer. The particles in the fluid were closely-packed due to the high density, and due to its thickness, which caused the honey to weigh greater compared to the other fluids in the glass container. Rubbing

Meaning that the object that is put in will neither sink nor float and have a balance. The density helps you understand the buoyancy of the object. Suppose the object has a greater density than the fluid, it will submerge. For instance, the rubbing alcohol had a greater density than the two objects that were dropped in. The ping-pong ball and the corkscrew were able to float because of the high buoyancy, whereas objects such as the larger and smaller screw had a larger density; therefore, it sunk to the honey. Indicating the honey with the density of 1.52g/mL is lower than the weight of the screws, as they had a lower buoyancy. Whereas the dish soap is where most objects seem to sink to. The same rule applies to the layer of dish soap. The tomato and the lego pieces are heavier than the dish soap fluid; however, not heavy enough for the fluid to sink into the corn syrup. The grape is just below the water, proving that its mass is just great enough to sink through the water, not floating, nor sinking to the layer before, the corn syrup. In addition, indicating that both the grape and the dawn dish soap had the same density. In the layer of the vegetable oil is where the bottle cap sunk to, somewhat similar to the grape. The bottle cap hovers right below the alcohol, meaning that the alcohol had a larger density than the bottle …show more content…
Suppose heat was added to a substance, the particles start to vibrate and move fast and farther apart. As the particles bounce off one another it causes the substance to expand, increasing its volume, and it’s density; however, keeping the mass the same. Supposing the temperature raised to 35°C, the densities of all the fluids in the glass container would increase. With the increase in temperature and higher density, the object would not sink as it has without the 35°C increase. Due to the amount of heat, the density will become higher; therefore, it will be tougher for the object to get through. The lego piece for instance, rather than be in the dawn dish soap, with increased temperature, it might hover in the layer of the water. The water would increase in density, making the lego not sink further than it did originally. Rather than increase 35°C, if the classroom decreased in 5°C the results would be the opposite of if heat was added. If a substance is exposed to a cooler temperature the particles would vibrate at a slow rate, and be closely packed together. Indicating the density and the volume of the fluids would decrease, no longer having the large amount of space between each particle. With that being said, rather than making it difficult for the objects to pass through, it would be easier. In comparison to adding heat, the cool temperature would create the opposite effect, allowing the object to sink further. For

    - Each liquid that was used in Part I has its own independent density. Density being the relationship between the mass and volume of a substance. In this portion of the lab we explored relative density, each liquid compared to the others. The corn syrup was the most dense, in comparison to the other liquids. Whereas the vegetable oil was the least dense compared to the other liquids. The liquids in between followed this same principle in their respective orders.…

    Information of Michael King’s lab sheet can state two conclusions. The first conclusion that can be stated from information of the lab is water seeped through some of the oil. The density of the water was 1.1 g/mL and the soap was 1.446 g/mL, the soap was clearly denser than water. For proof that the water seeped through the soap Michael King’s observation sheet of water stated: “The water is leaking down into the soap, but still sits on top of the dish soap.” Later through his observations it elaborates, “The cooking oil sits on top of the water, but the water is still seeping through the soap.”…

    * Remember that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. This means that the addition of heat to a solid causes the vibration of the particles to increase more and more as the temperature of the solid increases. This increase in vibration will continue until, at a certain temperature, the vibrations are rapid enough to break up the fixed arrangement of particles. At this point a solid will begin to melt into a liquid.…

    20. The relative densities of water, ice, and alcohol are 1.0,0.9, and 0.8, respectively. Do ice cubes float higher or lower in a mixed alcoholic drink? What can you say about a cocktail in which the ice cubes lie submerged at the bottom of the glass? Ice cubes float on water and sink in alcohol because anything with less density than the liquid it’s in will always float.…

    The seven liquids I have chosen for the experiment have different weights and textures. My hypothesis is that the liquids that have more density, even though I am using the same amount of liquid, will be on the bottom of the column. The liquids that are less dense will then layer on top of the more dense liquid. They will create a layer of seven different liquids one on top of the other.…

    When trying to make an object float it depends on its density. Density is the “mass per unit volume.”[7] An object floats if it has less density then water. Objects like a boat floats because it has many parts that are filled with things that are less dense then water like air. When you add salt to the water the water becomes more dense allowing different objects to float. The salt dissolves into ions Na+ and Cl- which increases the mass of the water. The ions then link with the water molecules and then the molecules have a greater mass then the oxygen and hydrogen that the water is made of. Density is mass divided by volume and since there is now more mass the density of the water has also increased.…

    If you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom. If you add enough salt, the egg will float to the surface. Density is the mass or volume of an object. It’s easier to think of it as the thickness of the object. Buoyancy is the force that allows an object to float. I performed a fun experiment to see how increasing density of water could make an egg float or submerge. Anyone can do it.…

    Looking at the hypothesis, we decided to execute an experiment by getting two beakers both being filled at 10ml, one containing water and the other oil. This experiment helped us form the prediction statement, “If water and oil do not mix at all and the water resumed to stay under the oil (at the bottom of the beaker) due to water being denser than oil, then in the experiment, the water in a 10ml beaker will weigh more than the oil in a 10ml beaker, concluding that water is denser than…
