I need to find the density of Gasoline and Kerosene. ASAP HELP!!!

Question

I did an experiment on crude oil. I am almost finished only I am stuck on density!

I have 13.5g of Gasoline and 16g of kerosene what are their density. I am trying to figure it out, only my answers do not match the book. Please help!!

Answer 1

good you know their mass! now find their volume...

densitry = mass / volume

good luck!

Answer 2

Juding by the content of your expirement i will assume that you are aware of what density is, D=m/v (density is equal to mass divided by volume). You know what the masses of the two substances are, 13.5g and 16g, now find the supposed densities of the two and transform the equation to find volume, volume is equal to mass. You can then approximate if the volume is what it should be. Or just take a plastic bag and a measuring cup, weight out a few grams and pour them into the bag, then place the bag carefully into the measuring cup and see what the volume is, then do the math and check it with the book.

Answer 3

Gasoline used in motor vehicles is around 0.737g/cm^3

whilst kerosene is around 0.817g/cm^3
