The desity of water is 1.00 g/mL. Carbon tetrachloride is insoluable in water. Would carbon tetrachloride float on water or sink beneth water when they are comb

Question

pre lab question

Answer 1

Before answering you question, let me point out a couple of things for you future benefit: 1) The spelling is 'soluble', not 'soluable', and 2) in dealing with liquids we use the term "miscible" for soluble and "immiscible" for insoluble.

Now for the question: Basically, you need to know the density of CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) to answer the question.  This can easily be looked up, but to help you out, it's greater than the density of water.  So, it will sink.
