Answer: The density of liquid is [tex]1.12g/cm^3[/tex]
Explanation:
We are given:
Mass of cylinder, [tex]m_1[/tex] = 65.1 g
Mass of liquid and cylinder combined, M = 120.5 g
Mass of liquid, [tex]m_2[/tex] = [tex](M-m_1)=(120.5-65.1)g=55.4g[/tex]
To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}[/tex]
We are given:
Mass of liquid = 55.4 g
Volume of liquid = 49.3 mL = [tex]49.3 cm^3[/tex] (Conversion factor: [tex]1mL=1cm^3[/tex] )
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Density of liquid}=\frac{55.4g}{49.3cm^3}\\\\\text{Density of liquid}=1.12g/cm^3[/tex]
Hence, the density of liquid is [tex]1.12g/cm^3[/tex]
