So, the glycerine is on top, because is ligther than syrup.

The gravity it will pull down the heavier substance. Ok?

Answer 12

I just want to add that is has to do with density of the Item not weight. this is the classic Archimedes density problem. Density = mass per volume =m/v

Answer 13

density of glycerine

1.26 g/cm³

Corn syrup density is 1.380 g/ml so the corn syrup will sink while the glycerine floats on top.

Answer 14

1 cm^3= 1ml

Answer 15

simple the substance whose density is less will float on the top
