Rank the speed of sound through the following from greatest to least: A. Gold B. Ammonia C. Glycerine

The ranking from greatest to the least is A. Gold, B. Glycerine and C. Ammonia.

Explanation:

The degree of movement is dependent on the temperature of the air by which the sound move.

Under standard condition, Gold is solid.

The speed of sound of travel fastest through solids because molecule in the solid state are much closer together that is they are closer packed together than in the liquid state (Glycerine) and gaseous state (ammonia).

Therefore speed of sound travel fastest from Gold, Glycerine then to Ammonia.
