Question

when equal volumes of liquid are mixed then density of
mixture is 6 & when equal masses are mixed, it is 16/3 calculate
density of each liquid ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ρ

1

and ρ

2

be the densities of two liquids.

when equal volume of two liquids are mixed , then specific gravity (ρ) is given by ρ =

2

(ρ

1

+ρ

2

)

and when equal masses of two liquids are added ,then specific gravity (ρ) = 2(

ρ

1

+ρ

2

ρ

1

ρ

2

)

so we have

2

ρ

1

+ρ

2

= 4 ....................(1)

and 2(

ρ

1

+ρ

2

ρ

1

×ρ

2

) = 3 ..........(2)

on solving 1st and 2nd we get ρ

1

=6 and ρ

2

=2
