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: D. 0.80

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
