answer 3. A chemist was given four unidentified, water-insoluble cubes measuring 1 x 1 x1 cm and asked to arrange these substances in order of their increasing density. These cubes were labeled A, B, C, and D. As a reference, the chemist was also given the following liquids, whose densities in g mL-at 20 °C are given below. water 0.9982 nitromethane 1.1371 toluene 0.8669 chloroform 1.4832 The chemist added one of the four substances to one of the liquids and observed whether the substance floated or sank. By repeating this procedure with the other substances and liquids, he was able to make a series of observations about the relative densities of the substances and the liquids. Use the following selected observations to arrange the four unknown substances in order of increasing density. Briefly defend your order. (1) Substance A sank in chloroform. (2) Substance B floated in water but sank in toluene. (3) Substance C sank in water but floated in chloroform and nitromethane. (4) Substance D sank in nitromethane but did not sink as rapidly as Substance A did in nitromethane. least dense most dense

In an experiment involving the extraction of essential oils from a plant, 7.5 mL of benzene (C6H6, 78.11 g/mol) was mixed with 25.00 mL of hexane (C6H14, 86.18 g/mol). Both benzene and hexane are non-polar so they will homogeneously mix. The densities of benzene and hexane are 0.8765 g/mL and 0.6594 g/mL, respectively. D. The prepared benzene-hexane solution in the problem was diluted with 17.5 mL of the solvent. What will be the final concentration of the solution (in M)? E. Five milliliters (5.00 mL) of the diluted solution in item D) was obtained and was further diluted to 20.0 mL. What is the resulting concentration?
