The volume of 50 g. of a substance is `20cm^(3).` If the density of water is `1g.cm^(-3)`, will the substance float or sink ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`"1. Density of substance"=("Mass")/("Volume")=(50g)/(120cm^(3))=2.58cm^(-3).`
`"2. Density of water"=1gcm^(-3).`
As the density of substance is greater than that water, so the substance will sink in water.
