Question

An empty beaker weighs 20g and when filled with

Kensene weighs 60g. If the Volume of the kerosene is 15cm2 calculate
the density of the kerosene

Answer 1

Answer: The density of kerosene is
`2.7g/cm^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

`Density=(mass)/(Volume)`

Given : Mass of kerosene = mass of beaker with kerosene - mass of empty beaker = 60 g - 20 g = 40 g

Volume of kersone =
`15cm^3`

Putting in the values we get:

`Density=(40g)/(15cm^3)`

`Density=2.7g/cm^3`

Thus the density of kerosene is
`2.7g/cm^3`
