Yes.
Yes it does.
Leaf bits settle in alcohol due to differences in their densities. The alcohol solution has a lower density compared to the leaf bits, causing the bits to sink and settle at the bottom of the container over time. This phenomenon is known as sedimentation.
Sand and sugar are examples of solutes that will settle at the bottom when mixed with water due to their higher density compared to water.
Over time, the heavier particles settle to the bottom due to gravity, separating from the liquid phase. This process is known as sedimentation. The liquid above the settled particles is called the supernatant.
a suspension.

Cooling hot water can form sediment particles that settle to the bottom of the water. This can include minerals or impurities that were dissolved in the water when it was heated.
No, gold does not float in alcohol because gold is much denser than alcohol. It will sink to the bottom when placed in alcohol.
The bottom side of the Nile.
The layer with the highest density would settle on the bottom of a graduated cylinder, as denser liquids tend to sink below less dense liquids.
Mercury is the liquid that will settle at the bottom, as it is denser than both gasoline and turpentine. Gasoline and turpentine are less dense and will float on top of the mercury.
