an empty relative density bottle weights 20g. the bottle weights 40g when filled with petrol and 60g when filled with water. determine the density of the petrol.( density of water=1000kg/m³)​

Answer:

500 Kg/m³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of empty bottle = 20 g

Mass of bottle + petrol = 40 g

Mass of bottle + water = 60 g

Density of water = 1000 Kg/m³

Density of petrol =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of empty bottle = 20 g

Mass of bottle + water = 60 g

Mass of water =?

Mass of water = (Mass of bottle + water) – (Mass of empty bottle)

Mass of water = 60 – 20

Mass of water = 40 g

Converting 40 g to Kg, we have:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

40 g = 40 × 1 Kg / 1000 g

40 g = 0.04 Kg

Next, we shall determine the volume of the bottle by calculating the volume of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of water = 0.04 Kg

Density of water = 1000 Kg/m³

Volume of water =?

Density = mass / volume

1000 = 0.04 / volume

Cross multiply

1000 × volume = 0.04

Divide both side by 1000

Volume of water = 0.04 / 1000

Volume of water = 4×10¯⁵ m³

Thus, the volume of the bottle is 4×10¯⁵ m³

Next, we shall determine the mass of the petrol. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of empty bottle = 20 g

Mass of bottle + petrol = 40 g

Mass of petrol =?

Mass of petrol = (Mass of bottle + petrol ) – (Mass of empty bottle)

Mass of petrol = 40 – 20

Mass of petrol = 20 g

Converting 20 g to Kg, we have:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

20 g = 20 × 1 Kg / 1000 g

20 g = 0.02 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the density of the petrol. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of petrol = 0.02 Kg

Volume of petrol = 4×10¯⁵ m³

Density of petrol =?

Density = mass / volume

Density of petrol = 0.02 / 4×10¯⁵

Density of petrol = 500 Kg/m³
