Part A When the following liquids are poured into the same container, they separate as shown in the image. Based on the data
in the table below, what caused the order of the layers?
rubbing alcohol
vegetable oil
water
corn syrup

The layers are formed due to difference of density of solutions.

The main cause of the order of the layers is the difference of weight and density of different liquids in the container. The liquids that has more weight means higher density will sink below the liquids that has less weight means lower density so due to difference in  their density corn syrup is located at the bottom due to higher density and rubbing alcohol is present at the top of the container due to lower density.

What caused the order of the layers can be attributed to the densities of the liquids.

In order words, immiscible liquids poured together in the same container will separate out according to their densities - starting with the highest density liquid occupying the bottom with the lowest density liquid staying topmost.

hey there!

so, when you eat, your teeth chew and grind food into smaller pieces. this is mechanical digestion. then reactions aided by digestive enzymes break down large food molecules into smaller molecules. this is chemical digestion. the two processes change the food into simpler substances that can be used by the body for raw materials and energy.

hope this
