  • Carbon Tetrachloride and Sulfuric Acid: Will It Sink?
    No, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) will not sink in sulfuric acid (H2SO4).

    Here's why:

    * Density: Carbon tetrachloride has a density of 1.59 g/mL, while sulfuric acid has a density of 1.84 g/mL. This means sulfuric acid is denser than carbon tetrachloride.

    * Immiscibility: Carbon tetrachloride and sulfuric acid are immiscible, meaning they do not mix.

    Therefore, carbon tetrachloride would float on top of sulfuric acid.
