Question

A bottle contains 2.360 ml of a liquid. the total mass of the bottle and liquid together is 6.160g. The mass of the empty bottle is 4.850 g. what is the density of the liquid?
A) 2.610 ml
B) 1.802 ml
C) 0.555 ml
D) 2.055 ml

Answer 1

Answer:

C.) 0.555

Step-by-step explanation:

This is annoying because we're dealing with decimals.

So, we need to know how density works. Density works by dividing mass (g) by volume (ml).

Since the empty bottle has a mass of 4,850g and the bottle + the liquid have a total mass of 6.160g, we'll subtract the bottle's mass from the total mass, giving us 1.310g. Again, we divide mass by volume to obtain density (which should be listed as g/ml).

1.310 ÷ 2.360 = ~0.555

Therefore, your answer is 0.555
