Answer to Question #168764 in General Chemistry for Joke

Question

Imagine that you work at a chemical plant. This morning, four different liquid chemicals accidentally spilled into the same tank. Luckily, none of the liquids reacted with each other! Also, you know the liquids do not dissolve in one another, so they must have settled in the tank in four separate layers. The sides of the tank are made of steel, so you can only see the surface of the inside. But you need to remove the red chemical to use in a reaction later this afternoon. How will you find and remove the red chemical? By finding the chemical’s different densities, of course!

Answer 1

Create a chart like of like this in the notebook and then fill it with the information.

Calculateing the density of each liquid-

       $\text{ Density} =\dfrac{\text{ Mass}}{\text{volume}}$

The greater the density The more it settles at the bottom,

Suppose the red colour has the highest density ,Then we will find at the bottom and than remove it easily by suction technique.
