Question

The density of water is about 1.0 g/mL at room temperature. Briefly explain how the density of an aqueous solution at room temperature can be significantly less than 1.0 g/mL. Give an example of such a solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

The density of water is about 1.0 g/mL at room temperature.

Briefly explain how the density of an aqueous solution at room temperature can be significantly less than 1.0 g/mL.

Give an example of such a solution.

Explanation:

That means 1.0mL of water weighs ---- 1.0g

If any other aqueous solution which has mass less than 1.0g will have density less than 1.0g.

For example aqueous solution of sulfuric acid has density 0.98g/mL.

That means 1mL of sulfuric acid has mass 0.98g.
