cylinder holds four liquid layers: acetic acid (d = 1.05 g/mL), chloroform (d = 1.49 g/mL), mercury (d = 13.6 g/mL), and ether (d = 0.708 g/mL). If you added a glass marble d = 3.05 g mL) to the cylinder, in which layer would it come to rest? Make a sketch of the cylinder, label the layers, and show the marble in its final position.

cylinder holds four liquid layers: acetic acid (d = 1.05 g/mL), chloroform (d = 1.49 g/mL), mercury (d = 13.6 g/mL), and ether (d = 0.708 g/mL). If you added a glass marble d = 3.05 g mL) to the cylinder, in which layer would it come to rest? Make a sketch of the cylinder, label the layers, and show the marble in its final position.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given the four liquids with different densities are kept togather in a cylinder. 

acetic acid (d = 1.05 g/mL), chloroform (d = 1.49 g/mL), mercury (d = 13.6 g/mL), and ether (d = 0.708 g/mL).

We know that substance with higher density than the liquid will sink and substance with lower density than the liquid will float on the surface.
