Question

The relative density of silver is $10.8$. The density of water is $1000kg{m}^{-}3$ 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 the density of water.
So, $\frac{\text{Density of silver}}{\text{Desnsity of water}}=10.8\Rightarrow \frac{\text{Density of silver}}{1000kg{m}^{-}3}=10.8$
Thus the density of silver is = $10.8$ $\times$ ${10}^3$ $kg{m}^{-}3$
