Question

250cm3 of fres

er of density 1000kgm-3 is mixed with 100cm3 of sea water of density 1030kgm-3. Calculate the density of the mixture. *​

Answer 1

1008.57kg/m3

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the mass of fresh water is 250×1000 /1000000 = 0.25kg

Now the mass of salt water is

100×1030 /1000000 = 0.103kg

Note Density = mass / volume

Mass = volume × density

Note that converting from cm3 to m3 we divide by 1000000

Total mass = 0.25kg +0.103kg= 0.353kg.

Total volume also is (250 +100 )/1000000= 35 × 10^{-5}m3

Hence the density of the mixture= total mass / total volume

0.353kg/35 × 10^{-5}m3=1008.57kg/m3
