A sample of an unknown liquid has a volume of 12.0 ml. and a mass of 6 g. What is its density? Show your work or explain how you determined this value.

Answer 1

To calculate the density of the liquid, you can use the formula for density:

\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \]

In this case, the mass of the liquid is 6 grams, and the volume is 12.0 milliliters. Now, substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Density} = \frac{6 \text{ g}}{12.0 \text{ ml}} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ \text{Density} = 0.5 \text{ g/ml} \]

Thus, the density of the unknown liquid is 0.5 g/ml.
