Of the three, only Mercury (a liquid metal) is heavier than water and would sink to the bottom. Gasoline is partly miscible (forms suspensions in water), while turpentine has a lower density than water and would float on top.

Would turpentine settle to the bottom when mixed with water?

No. Turpentine does not sink in water. Like many oil based organic solvents, turpentine floats in pure water. Engineers and scientists use a measurement called Specific Gravity to measure how dense a liquid is in comparison to that of water. Pure turpentine has a Specific Gravity of 0.85(@25 deg Celsius). On the other hand, water has a specific gravity of 1.0. That means that turpentine at will eventually float to the top of a water bath.

What happens the particles in a suspension if they are allowed to stand?

They will separate from the solution. Think of sand and water in a glass jar. If you shake the jar, the sand and water will stay mixed for a while- --the sand is " suspended" in the liquid. However, if you let it stand a while, the sand will drop to the bottom of the jar.


What might cause a Ford 5.4 engine to start whining and lose speed and lock up if the oil light did not come on?
