(a)
Interpretation:
The density of lignum vitae sphere is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The density of any object is obtained when the mass of object in grams is divided by volume of an object in milliliters. So it is denoted by unit: gram per milliliter.
Density is directly associated to the mass of an object. The higher the mass of the substance higher will be its density. Density is inversely associated to the volume of a substance. The lower the volume of the substance higher will be its density.
Density is associated to how the particles are packed in a substance, which in turn determines its state. The state of a substance defines density. Solids have highest and gases have least density.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the sphere will float or sink in water should be determined.

The mass of the stoppered flask when completely filled with liquid was 47.867 g. The mass of the empty stoppered flask was 26.192 g. Find the density of the liquid. (in g/cm³) (a) First we need to find the mass (in g) of the liquid by determining the difference. mass of liquid = g (b) The density of a pure substance is equal to its mass divided by its volume: density = mass volume Since the volume of the liquid equals that of the flask, we know both the mass and volume of the liquid and can easily find its density. Calculate the density (in g/cm³) of the unknown liquid. density of liquid=arrow_forward
