Alcohol of mass 21g and density 0.7g cm⁻³ is mixed with 10g of water. Determine the density of the mixture. [Density of water = 1.0 g cm⁻³]

  • A. 0.775 g cm⁻³Correct
  • B. 0.780 g cm⁻³
  • C. 0.875 g cm⁻³
  • D. 0.880 g cm⁻³

Explanation

Volume of alcohol = 21/0.7 = 30cm³. Volume of water = 10/1.0 = 10cm³. Total volume = 40cm³, total mass = 31g. Density = 31/40 = 0.775 g cm⁻³.
