In an experiment ti determine the density of a liquid the following pieces of information were obtained.
Mass of empty bottle=50g
Mass of bottle and liquid=85g
Volume of liquid=100cm^3
Use the information to determine the density of the liquid
To determine the density of the liquid, you need to divide the mass of the liquid by its volume. Here's how you can calculate it step by step:
1. Calculate the mass of the liquid by subtracting the mass of the empty bottle from the mass of the bottle and liquid:
Mass of liquid = Mass of bottle and liquid - Mass of empty bottle
Mass of liquid = 85g - 50g
Mass of liquid = 35g
2. Divide the mass of the liquid by the volume of the liquid to find the density:
Density = Mass of liquid / Volume of liquid
Density = 35g / 100cm^3
3. Simplify the units, if necessary, to get the final answer. In this case, since the volume is given in cubic centimeters (cm^3) and the mass is in grams (g), the resulting density will be in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3):
Density = 0.35 g/cm^3
Therefore, the density of the liquid is 0.35 g/cm^3.
