An empty graduated cylinder weighs 55.26 g. When filled with 48.1 mL of an unknown liquid, it weighs 92.39 g. The density of the unknown liquid is?

Density of the unknown liquid is 771.93 kg/m³

Explanation:

An empty graduated cylinder weighs 55.26 g

Weight of empty cylinder = 55.26 g = 0.05526 kg

Volume of liquid filled = 48.1 mL = 48.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Weight of cylinder plus liquid = 92.39 g = 0.09239 kg

Weight of liquid = 0.09239 - 0.05526

Weight of liquid = 0.03713 kg

We have

Mass = Volume x Density

0.03713 = 48.1 x 10⁻⁶ x Density

Density = 771.93 kg/m³

Density of the unknown liquid is 771.93 kg/m³
