A popular science demonstration is to take several liquids that will not mix together and "stack" these liquids in a tall glass cylinder. Suppose the following three liquids were placed in the same tall, narrow
glass cylinder:
SUBSTANCE DENSITY g/mL
vinegar 1.01
motor oil 0.87
corn syrup 1.36
These liquids would stack in which order?
a) motor oil on top, vinegar in the middle, corn syrup on the bottom.
b) corn syrup on top, vinegar in the middle, motor oil on the bottom.
c) corn syrup on top, motor oil in the middle, vinegar on the bottom.
d) vinegar on top, motor oil in the middle, corn syrup on the bottom.
e) motor oil on top, corn syrup in the middle, vinegar on the bottom.
