Answer: Water has a greater density than gasoline.


Reading SkillsMETAL ALLOYS

When a metallic element is combined with one or more other elements and the resulting combination has metallic properties, that combination is known as an alloy. Metals are most often alloyed with other metals, but other elements and compounds can also be included in an alloy to give it particular properties. For example, blending small amounts of manganese and carbon with iron creates a substance known as carbon steel. Carbon steel is harder and more corrosion resistant than pure iron.

Some alloys are compounds. One example is cementite, Fe3C. Other alloys, such as bronze and brass, are solutions of two or more metals dissolved in one another. Alloys that are mixtures of several compounds may not have a single melting point. Instead, they may have a melting range, in which the material is a combination of a solid and a liquid.

A geologist who is studying rocks found on an expedition places a 25 g graduated cylinder on a scale and adds 100 cm3 of water to the cylinder. Then, the geologist places the rocks in the cylinder one at a time, as shown below. Use the graphic to answer questions 12 and 13.



12. Which rock or rocks have the greatest density?



12. Which rock or rocks have the greatest density?

Answer: Rock B



13. Which rock or rocks will float to the surface of the water in the cylinder? Why?



13. Which rock or rocks will float to the surface of the water in the cylinder? Why?

Answer: Rock C, because its density is less than water’s.
