Question

The mass of an empty density bottle is 2 g. Its mass when filled with water is 4.0 g and 6.0 g when filled with liquid X. Calculate the density of liquid X if the density of water is 1,000 kgm-3.​

Answer 1

density of liquid x = 2000kg/m3

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of water = mass of bottle with water - mass of bottle

mass of water = 4g - 2g

mass of water = 2g

mass of liquid x = mass of bottle with liquid x - mass of bottle

mass of liquid x = 6g - 2g

mass of liquid x = 4g

since the mass of liquid x is double the mass of the water and the volume of the bottle is the same, the density is doubled

density of liquid x = 1000kg/m3 • 2

density of liquid x = 2000kg/m3
