Compare the volumes of 1 kilogram of water, mercury and milk. Which substance has a larger volume
Compare the volumes of 1 kilogram of water, mercury and milk. Which substance has a larger volume and how many times?
mw = 1 kg.
mrt = 1 kg.
mm = 1 kg.
ρw = 1000 kg / m ^ 3.
ρрт = 13600 kg / m ^ 3.
ρm = 1030 kg / m ^ 3.
Vv / Vrt -?
Vw / Vm -?
The density of a substance ρ is determined by the formula: ρ = m / V, where m is the mass of the substance, V is the volume of the substance.
V = m / ρ.
Since the mass of matter m is the same for all, and the density ρ is in the denominator, the volume V will be large for the substance with the lowest density ρ.
The smallest volume will be for 1 kg of water.
Vв / Vрт = mв / ρв: mрт / ρрт = ρрт / ρв.
Vw / Vrt = 13600 kg / m ^ 3/1000 kg / m ^ 3 = 13.6.
Vw / Vm = mw / ρw: mm / ρmt = ρm / ρw.
Vw / Vrt = 1030 kg / m ^ 3/1000 kg / m ^ 3 = 1.03.
