When different liquids are mixed together they will
- A.
Mix randomly
- B.
Settle with the most dense on top
- C.
Settle with the most dense in the middle
- D.
Settle with the most dense on the bottom
Correct Answer
D. Settle with the most dense on the bottomExplanation
When different liquids are mixed together, they will settle with the most dense liquid on the bottom. This is because density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. The denser liquid will have more mass and therefore will sink to the bottom, while the less dense liquid will float on top. This settling occurs due to the force of gravity, which pulls objects with greater mass towards the center of the Earth. As a result, the most dense liquid will be found at the bottom of the mixture.Rate this question:

Which of the following matches the property with the proper tool and measurement unit:
- A.
Mass-graduated cylinder-mL
- B.
Volume-graduated cylinder-mL
- C.
Length-ruler-gram
- D.
Volume-graduated cylinder-gram
Correct Answer
B. Volume-graduated cylinder-mLExplanation
The answer is correct because volume is the property that is measured using a graduated cylinder, and the unit of measurement for volume is milliliters (mL). A graduated cylinder is a tool specifically designed to measure the volume of liquids accurately, making it the appropriate tool for measuring volume. The unit of measurement, mL, is commonly used to measure small volumes, such as those typically encountered in a laboratory setting.Rate this question:
