Liquid is poured into the flask to a height of 19 cm. The pressure produced by this liquid

Liquid is poured into the flask to a height of 19 cm. The pressure produced by this liquid at the bottom is 3420 Pa. Determine what kind of liquid it is.

To find the type of liquid poured into the indicated flask, we calculate its density using the formula: P = ρж * g * h, whence we express: ρж = P / (g * h).

Data: P – pressure at the bottom of the indicated flask (P = 3420 Pa); g – acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 10 m / s2); h is the height of the liquid in the flask (h = 19 cm = 0.19 m).

Let’s make a calculation: ρzh = P / (g * h) = 3420 / (10 * 0.19) = 1800 kg / m3.

Answer: The liquid in the indicated flask is sulfuric acid.
