Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given substance would sink or float when dropped into water is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The density is defined as the ratio of mass of a body to its volume. For solid bodies densities are usually expressed in the units of grams per cubic centimeter, for liquids in the units of grams per milliliter and for gases in units of grams per liter.
