Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionYou are assigned the task of separating a desired granular material with a density of 3.62 g>cm3 from an undesired granular material that has a density of 2.04 g>cm3. You want to do this by shaking the mixture in a liquid in which the heavier material will fall to the bottom and the lighter material will float. A solid will float on any liquid that is more dense. Using an Internet-based source or a handbook of chemistry, find the densities of the following substances: carbon tetrachloride, hexane, benzene, and diiodomethane. Which of these liquids will serve your purpose, assuming no chemical interaction takes place between the liquid and the solids?
