**Question Completion Status:****QUESTION 8**Which one of the following substances will float in gasoline, which has a density of 0.74 g/mL? The density of each substance is shown in parentheses.- **A) table salt** (D = 2.16 g/mL)- **B) balsa wood** (D = 0.16 g/mL)- **C) sugar** (D = 1.59 g/mL)- **D) aluminum** (D = 2.70 g/mL)---### Detailed Explanation:This educational question involves understanding the concept of density and buoyancy. In order for a substance to float in gasoline, it must have a lower density than gasoline (0.74 g/mL). Examining the given options:- **Table salt**: Density = 2.16 g/mL (higher than 0.74 g/mL, so it will sink)- **Balsa wood**: Density = 0.16 g/mL (lower than 0.74 g/mL, so it will float)- **Sugar**: Density = 1.59 g/mL (higher than 0.74 g/mL, so it will sink)- **Aluminum**: Density = 2.70 g/mL (higher than 0.74 g/mL, so it will sink)Thus, the correct answer is **B) balsa wood**.The image also includes another question (QUESTION 9), but it is not fully visible and therefore not included in this transcription.

A substance will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Which one of the following substances will float in gasoline, which has a density of 0.74 g/mL? The density of each substance is shown in parentheses. OA) table salt (D = 2.16 g/mL) OB) balsa wood (D = 0.16 g/mL) (D = 1.59 g/mL) OC) sugar D) aluminum (D = 2.70 g/mL)

States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
