<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

Density = mass of gasoline/ volume of gasoline = (1</span>46.770 g -110.525 g ) / <span>50 ml = 0.7249 g/mL</span>

Answer: The density of gasoline will be 1.4 g/ml.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

$Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Given : Mass of gasoline = (mass of gasoline +mass of flask +mass of stopper) - (mass of stopper +mass of flask) = (146.770 - 110.525) grams = 36.245 grams

Volume of gasoline = 50 ml

Putting in the values we get:

$Density=\frac{36.245g}{25ml}=1.4g/ml$

Thus density of gasoline will be 1.4 g/ml
