Answer:
Density of the mixture = 855.56kgm-3
Explanation:
Density = Mass / Volume
Volume of Liquid X = 0.5m³
Density of Liquid X = 900kgm-3
Mass of Liquid X = Density × Volume
= 900kgm-3 × 0.5m³ = 450kg
Volume of Liquid Y = 0.4m³
Density of Liquid Y = 800kgm-3
Mass of Liquid Y = Density × Volume
= 800kgm-3 × 0.4m³= 320kg
As X and Y are mixed, we add their masses and volumes together:
Mass = 770kg
Volume = 0.9m³
Now we can find the density of the mixture:
Density = 770kg / 0.9m³ = 855.56kgm-3 (rounded to the 2nd decimal)
