Consider the following compounds and their densities.

You create a column of the liquids in a glass cylinder with the most dense material on the bottom layer and the least dense on the top. You do not allow the liquids to mix.
a. First you drop a plastic bead that has a density of 0.24 g/cm3 into the column. What do you expect to observe?
b. Next you drop a different plastic bead that has a volume of 0.043 mL and a mass of 3.92 × 10€“2 g into the column. What would you expect to observe in this case?
c. You drop another bead into the column and observe that it makes it all the way to the bottom of the column. What can you conclude about the density of this bead?
