here is the solution to the question:

Question 9:
When two immiscible liquids are poured into the same container, the liquid with the lower density will float on top of the liquid with the higher density.

  1. Identify the densities of the two liquids.

    Density of Liquid A =0.7 g/mL= 0.7 \text{ g/mL}
    Density of Liquid B =1.14 g/mL= 1.14 \text{ g/mL}

  2. Compare the densities.

    We compare 0.7 g/mL0.7 \text{ g/mL} and 1.14 g/mL1.14 \text{ g/mL}.
    Since 0.7<1.140.7 < 1.14, Liquid A is less dense than Liquid B.

  3. Determine which liquid will be on top.

    The less dense liquid (Liquid A) will float on top of the more dense liquid (Liquid B).

    The correct option is A.

    • A. Liquid A
