Answer:

0.2 g/mL

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

d=m/v

d= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

mass = 6 g

volume = 30.0 mL  

density = ?  

Now we will put the values in the formula,

d= m/v

d= 6 g/ 30 mL

d= 0.2 g /mL

so, the density of unknown liquid is 0.2 g/mL.

Taking into account the definition of density, the density of the sample of an unknown liquid is 0.2 [tex]\frac{g}{mL}[/tex].

First it is necessary to know that density is defined as the property that matter, whether solids, liquids or gases, has to compress in a given space. That is, the density is the ratio between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

Then, the expression for the calculation of the density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies. :

[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

In this case, you know that:

  • mass= 6 g
  • volume= 30 mL

Replacing in the definition of density:

[tex]density=\frac{6 g}{30 mL}[/tex]

Solving:

density=0.2 [tex]\frac{g}{mL}[/tex]

In summary, the density of the sample of an unknown liquid is 0.2 [tex]\frac{g}{mL}[/tex].
