Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The observation that occurs when 50 mL of 1-bromobutane (density = 1.27 g/mL) is added to the 100 mL of water should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is expressed in g/mL. The compound having low density than water floats on the water and the compound with high density than water sinks in it.
(b)
Interpretation:
The observation that occurs when 50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.79 g/mL) is added to the 100 mL of water should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is expressed in g/mL. The compound having low density than water floats on the water and the compound with high density than water sinks in it.
(c)
Interpretation:
The observation that occurs when 50 mL of 1-decanol (density = 0.83 g/mL) is added to the 100 mL of water should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is expressed in g/mL. The compound having low density than water floats on the water and the compound with high density than water sinks in it.
