Question 36
1.5 m3 of water is mixed with 0.50 m3 of alcohol. The density of water is 1000 kg m-3 and the density of alcohol is 800 kg m-3.
What is the density of
the mixture with volume 2.0 m3?
A 850 kg m-3 B 900
kg m-3 C 940
kg m-3 D 950
kg m-3
Reference: Past Exam Paper – June 2011 Paper 11 Q19
Solution:
Answer:
D.
Density of mixture = total
mass / total volume
Total volume = 2.0 m3
For water,
Density = 1000 kg m-3
Volume = 1.5 m3
Mass = Density × Volume = 1000 × 1.5 = 1500 kgFor alcohol,
Density = 800 kg m-3
Volume = 0.5 m3
Mass = Density × Volume = 800 × 0.5 = 400 kgTotal mass = 1500 + 400 = 1900 kg
Density of mixture = total mass / total volume
Density of mixture = 1900 / 2.0 = 950 kg m-3
