The mass of a specific gravity bottle is 15.2g when it is empty. it is 24.8g when filled with kerosene and 27.2g when filled with distilled water. Calculate the relative density of kerosene
-
A.
1.25 -
B.
1.10 -
C.
0.90 -
D.
0.80
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Masses of kerosene = 24.8 – 15.2
= 9.6
mass of H2O = 27.2 – 15.2
= 12
R.d = (frac{9.6}{12}) = 0.8
