How do you tell which one is the densest liquid if you pour three liquids into a beaker?

Answer 1

To identify a liquid that is most dense it would be at the bottom of a container because the the most dense sinks while the least dense float at the top.

example. if your teacher gave you an experiment to do and she gave you olive oil,dish soap,and color water. and you put those liquid in a see through container the least dense is the alcohol because that has the least density in it, and the most dense is soap. so if you put a couple of liquids in a container the most dense will appear at the bottom while the least will be on top.

hope this help:)

Answer 2

First, you get a graduated cylinder and pour in a liquid. Then you take another liquid and pour it in the same graduated cylinder, but you pour it in very SLOWLY!! Do this with more than one liquid, and you'll see that it make layers. By that, you can see which liquid is denser than the others. (You can use a different container, but it has to be see-through!!)

Hope this helps you!

Answer 3

If the three liquids were mutually soluble, they'd form a single liquid whose

density was between the densities of the lightest one and the heaviest one.

If the three liquids were mutually immiscible, they'd settle into three layers in

the container, with the highest-density liquid on the bottom and the lowest-

density one on top.

Answer 4

if it goes to the bottom it's the densest . if its at the top its the lightest .

Answer 5

Take a standard volume of each liquid (the same volume each time) and weigh that volume of each liquid. If they weigh differing amounts then they must have different densities.

Answer 6

The densest liquid would sink to the bottom of the beaker. The second densest liquid would be in the middle and the least dense liquid would sit on the top of the other two.
