Answer: The density of kerosene is [tex]2.7g/cm^3[/tex]
Explanation:
Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.
[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}[/tex]
Given : Mass of kerosene = mass of beaker with kerosene - mass of empty beaker = 60 g - 20 g = 40 g
Volume of kersone = [tex]15cm^3[/tex]
Putting in the values we get:
[tex]Density=\frac{40g}{15cm^3}[/tex]
[tex]Density=2.7g/cm^3[/tex]
Thus the density of kerosene is [tex]2.7g/cm^3[/tex]
