five ml of ethonal has a mass of 3.9g and 5.0ml of benzene has a mass of 4.4g which liquid is denser
density=mass/volume
We have for ethonal 3.9g/5ml and for
benzene 4.4g/5.0ml
Which ratio is greater?
To determine which liquid is denser, we need to compare the ratios of mass to volume for both ethonal and benzene.
Start by calculating the density of ethanol:
Density of ethanol = mass of ethanol / volume of ethanol
Density of ethanol = 3.9g / 5ml = 0.78 g/ml
Next, calculate the density of benzene:
Density of benzene = mass of benzene / volume of benzene
Density of benzene = 4.4g / 5.0ml = 0.88 g/ml
Comparing the two densities, we can see that the density of benzene (0.88 g/ml) is greater than the density of ethanol (0.78 g/ml). Therefore, benzene is denser than ethanol.
