Question

Define relative density of a substance relative density of sliver is 10.8. The density of water is 1000kgm-3 what is the density of sliver in sl units

Answer 1

$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Answer below.$
====================================

• Firstly, what is density ?

=>>> Density of a substance is defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume, i.e., the mass of the substance in a given amount of volume. It is calculated by dividing mass by volume. It's unit is - mass/ volume = kg/m³



• Now, what is relative density?

=>>> Relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of water. It is calculated by dividing the density of a substance by density of water. It has no unit (because it compares similar quantities and units get cancelled)



• Coming back to question -


• Given relative density of silver = 10.8

• Given density of water -
= 1000 kgm^-3
= 1000 kg/m³
= 10^3 kg/m³


• Now, we know that -

Relative density = density of substance (here silver)/density of water.

=> 10.8 = density of silver/10^3

=> Density of silver = 10.8 × 10^3 = 10800 kg/m³


• So, the density of silver = 10800 kg/m³

Answer 2

Answer:

Density of silver = 10.8 * 10³ kg/m³

Explanation:

Given,

Relative density of silver is 10.8

The density of water is 10³ kg /m³.

To find: density of silver in Si unit?

Solution:

Relative density is defined as the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water.

i.e Relative density = density of silver / density of water

or, density of silver = Relative density of silver * density of water

or, Density of silver = 10.8 * 10³ kg / m³
