A piece of wood sinks in ethanol but floats in gasoline. Give a range of possible densities for the wood?
Answered by bobpursley
what is the density of gasoline, and of ethanol.
Answered by Charles
shouldn't you be the one telling me that.?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You can Google gasoline density and ethanol density to find that information. We don't give answers that we believe the students can readily find for themselves.

After you find the densities of gasoline and ethanol, then post them, and BobPursley or another teacher will help you then.

Gasoline: 737.22 kg/m3
Ethanol: 0.789 g/cm³
Answered by Charles
whys does it floats on gasoline and not ethanol?
Answered by bobpursley
Maybe it would help to change gasoline to like units .737g/cm3

Now one can determine the range of densities the wood is in.
Answered by bobpursley
By the way, you can have the Google calculator convert units for you to CHECK your work.

Put this in the Google search window:

737kg/m^3 in g/cm^3
