When placed in a pycnometer, 20 g of salt displaces 7.6 g of kerosene. If the mass density of kerosene is 0.83 g/cm^3, find the volume and density of the salt.
Added by Robert B.
Step 1
We know that the mass of the kerosene displaced is 7.6 g and its mass density is 0.83 g/cm^3. We can use the formula for density, which is mass/volume, and rearrange it to find volume, which gives us volume = mass/density. So, the volume of the kerosene Show more…

Kerosene is added to a graduated cylinder until the kerosene level is 20.73 mL, and the mass of the graduated cylinder with kerosene is found to be 61.3645 g. A sample of rock salt is submerged in the kerosene, and the kerosene level rises to 26.10 mL. The mass of the graduated cylinder with kerosene and rock salt is found to be 73.0801 g. Determine the density of the rock salt, in g/cm3, if the density of kerosene is 0.785 g/mL. Write your final answer, to the correct number of significant figures

A density bottle weighs $100 \mathrm{~g}$ when filled with liquid and $80 \mathrm{~g}$ when filled with water. If the weight of an empty density bottle is $20 \mathrm{~g}$, find the density of the liquid.
