• A plastic bag filled with air has a volume of

0.008 m3. When air in the bag A plastic bag filled with air has a volume of 0.008 m^3. When air in the bag is squeezed into a
rigid container, the mass of the container (with air)
increases from 0.02 kg to 0.03 kg. Use the formula
density
volume
to calculate the density of the air in the bag.

Answer:

The change in the mass of box = 0.01 kg

Volume of air in the polythene bag = Volume of air in the rigid box

Therefore, Volume of air in the box = 0.008 m^3

Now, Density = Mass/ Volume

=> Density = 0.01 / 0.008 = 1.25 Kg / m^3
