Question

Calculate the relative density of the liquid from the following information :
Mass of empty relative density bottle $=24.5g$
Mass of relative density bottle filled with water $=56.2g$
Mass of relative density bottle filled with liquid $=51.2g$

Answer 1

Relative density of liquid is given by:

$k=\frac{\left(51.2-24.5\right)}{\left(56.2-24.5\right)}$

$k=\frac{26.7}{31.7}$

$k=0.84$
