Asked by ................
Substance X is placed in a container with substance Y. Both substances are fluids. Substance X initially sinks to the bottom of the container. After five minutes of being heated on a hot plate, substance X becomes less dense than substance Y.
What will most likely happen next?
Substance X will rise due to convection.
Substance Y will rise due to convection.
Substance X will rise due to radiation.

Substance X will rise due to convection.
Heating reduced X's density so it becomes less dense than Y; the resulting buoyant force drives fluid motion (convection). Radiation does not cause bulk fluid motion.
