Answer:
Average density of the liquid = 0.992 g/mL
Explanation:
Density = mass/volume
mass of liquid = (mass of liquid + mass of cylinder) - mass of cylinder
Trial 1: mass of liquid = 19.731 - 9.861 = 9.87
volume of liquid = 10 mL
density of liquid = 9.87 g / 10 mL = 0.987 g/mL
Trial 2: mass of liquid = 19.831 - 9.861 = 9.97
volume of liquid = 10 mL
density of liquid = 9.97 g / 10 mL = 0.997 g/mL
Trial 3: mass of liquid = 19.831 - 9.861 = 9.97
volume of liquid = 10 mL
density of liquid = 9.97 g / 10 mL = 0.997 g/mL
Trial 4: mass of liquid = 19.771 - 9.861 = 9.91
volume of liquid = 10 mL
density of liquid = 9.91 g / 10 mL = 0.991 g/mL
Trial 5: mass of liquid = 19.751 - 9.861 = 9.89
volume of liquid = 10 mL
density of liquid = 9.89 g / 10 mL = 0.989 g/mL
Average density = (0.987 + 0.997 + 0.997 + 0.991 + 0.989)/5 = 4.961/5
Average density of the liquid = 0.992 g/mL
