In science lab you are given the four substances listed below with their densities:
Honey=1.42g/cm3
Oliveoil=0.90g/cm3
Water=1.00g/cm3
Ethylalcohol=0.81g/cm3
You are asked to combine all four substances in a beaker and observe how they separate. List the order
in which the four liquids separate, starting with the one on top to the one on the bottom of the beaker.

What is more dense a bowling ball or a basketball? How do you know?
bowling ball - it's solid, so more mass is contained in roughly the same volume
as the air filled basketball

Your aunt brings you a gold bar from her visit to Egypt. It measures 10cm x 5 cm x 2 cm and has
a mass of 1,930g. What is the density of the gold bar? (Show your work)
Use Base x Width x Height for Volume= 10 * 5* 2 = 100 cm3
Mass is Given: M= 1.930g
Copyright 2014 – All Rights Reserved
Solve for Density: M/V = D or
1.930g/100cm3 = 0.0193 g/cm3
Answer: 0.0193 g/cm3
