If the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3, which of these materials would float in water, based on their densities? Check all that apply. Aluminum cork iron lead wax

Respuesta :

Answer: cork and wax

Explanation: Density is defined as the mass of substance contained per unit volume.

A substance which has higher density than water will sink in water and the one which has lower density than water will float in water.

Given: density of water = [tex]1.0 g/cm^3[/tex]

As we know:  density of aluminium = [tex]2.70 g/cm^3[/tex]

density of cork = [tex]0.24 g/cm^3[/tex]

density of iron= [tex]7.87 g/cm^3[/tex]

density of lead= [tex]11.34 g/cm^3[/tex]

density of wax = [tex]0.9 g/cm^3[/tex]

Thus as density of cork and wax is lower as compared to water, both cork and wax will float in water.
