__ 23. The densities of three mystery liquids are as follows: Substance X: 1.00g/mL Substance Y: 0.78g/mL Substance Z: 1.45g/mL The three liquids are poured slowly into a tall graduated cylinder and allowed to separate into three distinct layers. Which one of the following arrangements are in the correct order? b. c.

## Step 1: Understand the problemThe problem is asking us to determine the order of the three liquids in the graduated cylinder based on their densities. The liquid with the highest density will settle at the bottom, the one with the middle density will be in the middle, and the one with the lowest density will be at the top.## Step 2: Analyze the given densitiesThe densities of the three substances are given as follows: Substance X: , Substance Y: , Substance Z: . ## Step 3: Arrange the substances based on their densitiesFrom the given densities, we can see that Substance Z has the highest density, Substance X has the middle density, and Substance Y has the lowest density.
