Question

A liquid that occupies a volume of 0.820 L has a mass of 2.56 kg.

what is the density of this liquid in kg/L

explain your answer

Answer 1

The density of this liquid is 0.320 kg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of the Liquid = 0.820 L

Mass of the liquid = 2.56 kg.

To Find:

The density of the liquid in kg/L

Solution:

Density is the mass occupied by the substance in unit volume. This density is essential determining whether the substance floats or sinks. Greek letter(rho) is used to denote density

The equation of for density is

`Density = (mass)/(volume)`

`\rho = (m)/(v)`

where m is the mass

v is the volume

On substituting the given values

`\rho = (0.820 )/(2.56)`

`\rho = 0.320 kg/L`
