sublimation point

b)

melting point

c)

condensing point

11.

If water has a density of 1.0 g/mL, then what can Mario determine from his experiment?

a)

Cork floats because it has a lower density than water, so objects with a density less than 1.0 g/mL will float on water.

b)

Objects with a density of 15.0 g/mL or greater will always sink in water because it has the highest density of any liquid.

c)

Cork always floats because it is from nature, and man-made objects will always sink.

d)

Objects that do not absorb water will always float because they are always less dense.

12.

If the density of water is 1 gram per milliliter (g/mL), which of the following could be the density of the wooden stick to the nearest hundredth?

c)

The egg and the marble have the same density.

d)

The balloon and the ice have the same density.
