Question

a graduated cylinder contains hundred ml of liquid the mass of the graduated cylinder with the liquid is 145 gram the mass of the graduated cylinder when empty is 45 grams the liquid is most likely
(a) Ethanol
(b) Water
(c) Corn oil
(d) Chloroform​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey thanks for asking your question!

Given,

Volume of the cylinder is 100 ml

And mass of the cylinder with the liquid is 145 g

Also mass of empty cylinder is 45 g

Now,

Mass of fluid is 145 - 45 g

                      = 100 g

Density of the liquid is $\frac{mass of liquid}{volume of liquid}$

                              =  $\frac{100 g}{100ml}$

                              = $\frac{1 g}{1 ml}$

                              = 1 gm/ml

We know that 1 ml = 1 $cm^{3}$

Density = 1 gm/cc

But density of water is 1 g/cc [at 20 degree Celsius]

Therefore, option (b) water is the most likely answer

I hope it helps you ! And if further more questions, be free to ask!
