because methylated spirit has a lower density compared to water and the piece of wood! The piece of wood will float on water because water is more denser( 1g/cm3) than wood(0.8g/cm3).
The wood will sink in spirit since the density of methylated spirit is lower.
A piece of wood float on water and sinks in a methylated spirits .if the density of the wood is 0.8g/cm,explain why it would float on water and sink in methylated spirits .what can you say about the methylated spirit

Did not tell me if It would sink or float!!
Very good answer. Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it
This is because water is denser than methyleted spirit
Yes, that's correct! Water has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³, while methylated spirits have a density of approximately 0.79 g/cm³. Since the density of the piece of wood is 0.8 g/cm³, it is less dense than the water and will float on it. However, it will sink in the methylated spirits as the density of the spirit is less than both the piece of wood and water.
Because methylated spirit has a lower density
Yes, that's correct! The density of methylated spirits is lower than both the density of water and the piece of wood, which means that the piece of wood will sink in methylated spirits. This is because objects will float in fluids with a density greater than their own density and will sink in fluids with a density lower than their own density.
