To determine how the liquids will layer in the graduated cylinder based on their densities, we will arrange them from the most dense (heaviest) at the bottom to the least dense (lightest) at the top. The densities you provided are:
- Corn syrup: 1.38 g/cm³
- Ether: 1.2 g/cm³
- Canola oil: 0.93 g/cm³
- Salt water: 1.1 g/cm³
Based on these densities, the order of layers from bottom to top will be:
- Corn syrup (1.38 g/cm³) - Most dense, so it will be at the bottom.
- Salt water (1.1 g/cm³) - Next most dense, will be above corn syrup.
- Ether (1.2 g/cm³) - Less dense than salt water but denser than canola oil, so it will be above salt water.
- Canola oil (0.93 g/cm³) - Least dense, so it will float on top of the other liquids.
So the final layering in the graduated cylinder would be:
- Corn syrup (bottom)
- Salt water
- Ether
- Canola oil (top)
