Water has a density of 1g/cm3, corn syrup has a density of 1.38 g/cm3, corn oil has a density of 0.925 g/cm3, and glycerol has a density of 1.26 g/cm3. If you put all 4 liquids together in a container, what order would the layers of liquid be, starting from the bottom to the top? Explain your answer.
