Question

An empty density bottle weighs 24gm. When completely filled with water it weighs 52 gm, when completely filled with a brine solution. Its weighs 56 gm calculate: a) Volume of bottle b) Density of brine solution​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Density = weight / volume
• Water density = 1 gm/cm³

a) Weight of the water:

• 52 - 24 = 28 gm

Volume of bottle:

• 28 gm : 1 gm/cm³ = 28 cm³

b) Weight of brine:

• 56 - 24 = 32 gm

Density of brine:

• 32 gm : 28 cm³ ≈ 1.14 gm/cm³
