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 another at a given temperature.
So, relative density = $\frac{\text{Density of silver}}{\text{Density of water}}=10.8\Rightarrow \frac{\text{Density of silver}}{1000}=10.8$
Thus, the density of silver is = $10.8\times {10}^{3}kg/m^3$.​
