Question

The relative density of silver is 10.8. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. The density of silver is:

• A. 10.8 kg/m³
• B. 10.8 ​ kg/m³
• C. 10.8 10 kg/m³
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

10.8 kg/m³

Relative density is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to another at a given temperature.
So, $\frac{\text{Density of silver}}{\text{Desnsity of water}}=10.8\Rightarrow \frac{\text{Density of silver}}{1000}=10.8$
Thus the density of silver is = 10.8 $\times$ ${10}^3$ kg/m³.​
