Well, there are several possibilities. The most likely is that the head gasket is leaking badly, allowing pressure to vent between cylinders. Another possibility is that the head is cracked, which is how the pressure is traveling from one cylinder to another. The least likely possibility is that the block is cracked, but it would have to be cracked severely for pressure to travel from #3 to #1. Definitely you will have to remove the head, at least to replace the head gasket.

A graduated cylinder with mass of 105.56g has 45.5ml of a certain liquid added to it. The mass of the cylinder and the liquid is 142.01g. What is the density of this liquid.?

Mass of unknown liquid = 142.01 g - 105.56 g = 36.45 gVolume of unknown liquid = 45.5 mldensity = mass/volume = 36.45 g/45.5 mldensity = 0.801 g/ml


What are physical properties which can often be applied for the identification of unknown organic compounds?

How do you find the density of liquid?

Problem: You are given two unknown liquids. Find the density of each. Materials: 100ml graduated cylinder, triple beam balance, calculator, 2 unknown liquids. Procedure: 1) Find the mass of the empty graduated cylinder. 2) Pour unknown liquid #1 into the graduated cylinder to the 50 ml. level. 3) Find the mass of the graduated cylinder with 50ml of unknown liquid #1. 4) Repeat steps 1-3 for unknown liquid #2. We can calculate density of a liquid using the formula: Density= Mass/Volume where mass is that for just the liquid (you must subtract out the mass of the graduated cylinder). Now let's calculate the densities of the two liquids using the following given data. Liquid #1: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #1= 128 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid=_____ c) Density of liquid #1 =____ Liquid #2: Given: Mass of empty graduated cylinder = 78 grams Mass of graduated cylinder with unknown liquid #2= 117.5 grams. Find: a) Mass of just the liquid = ____ b) Volume of liquid =_____ c) Density of liquid #2=____ Check your answers by inserting the value in the box below.
