Question

a measuring cylinder contains 30cm3 of a liquid some more of the liquid is added until the liquid level reaches the 50cm3 mark the reading on the balance increases by 30g what is the density of liquid?

Answer 1

1.5g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume of the liquid = 30cm³

Final volume of the liquid = 50cm³

Mass of the liquid = 30g

Unknown:

Density of the liquid = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

volume of the liquid = final volume - initial volume = 50cm³ - 30cm³

volume of the liquid = 20cm³

Density =
`(30)/(20)` = 1.5g/cm³
