A glass bottle filled with gasoline weighs 2 kg. The weight of the empty bottle is 580 g. Determine the volume of the bottle.

Initial data: m (weight of a glass bottle with gasoline) = 2 kg; m1 (weight of empty bottle) = 580 g.

Constants: ρ (gasoline density) = 710 kg / m ^ 3.

SI system: m1 = 580 g = 580/1000 kg = 0.58 kg.

1) Calculate the mass of gasoline in a bottle:

m2 = m – m1 = 2 – 0.58 = 1.42 kg.

2) Let’s calculate the volume that the gasoline occupies in the bottle (bottle volume):

V = m2 / ρ = 1.42 / 710 = 0.002 m ^ 3 = 2 dm ^ 3 = 2 liters.

Answer: The volume of the bottle is 2 liters.
