Question

A sample of an unknown liquid has a volume of 12.0 mL and a mass of 6 g. What is its density? Show your work or explain how you determined this value

Answer 1

The answer is 6.12 L

Answer 2

Answer:

Density, d = 0.5 g/mL

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the unknown liquid, m = 6 g

Volume of unknown liquid, V = 12 mL

Density is defined as the mass of the liquid divided by its volume. Mathematically, it is given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$d=\dfrac{6\ g}{12\ mL}$

d = 0.5 g/mL

So, the density of the unknown liquid is 0.5 g/ml. Hence, this is the required solution.
