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

Respuesta :

Answer: The density of kerosene is [tex]2.7g/cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}[/tex]

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

Volume of kersone = [tex]15cm^3[/tex]

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]Density=\frac{40g}{15cm^3}[/tex]

[tex]Density=2.7g/cm^3[/tex]  

Thus the density of kerosene is [tex]2.7g/cm^3[/tex]
