5 liters of water would weigh (in practical situations) 5 kg, so the petrol will be 0.72 times the weight of the water.

If a substance has a density of 0.72 kg per liter, then to find the total mass, multiply .72 times the number of liters. In this case, the mass is 3.6 kg.

The density of petrol is 0.8gcm If the mass of petrol in a can is 4kg how many liters of petrol are there in the can?

The density of petrol is 0.8g cm3 which is the same as 800g per litre The mass of petrol supplied is 4Kg = 4000 grams =4000/0.8 = 5000cm3 5000cm3 = 5 litres of petrol. Answered by the longfield BTEC boys.


What is the difference density and relative density?

DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water


What is the difference of relative density and density?

DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water


What is the definition of relative density?

Relative density, is also called specific gravity, and it is the ratio of the density (mass/volume) of a substance to the density of a particular reference substance, usually water. So, where density has the units of mass/volume, relative density (specific gravity) is unitless.


What is a formula used to calculate relative density?

The relative density of a substance X, relative to a substance Y isDensity of X/Density of Y= (Mass of X/Volume of X) / (Mass of Y/Volume of Y)If Y is water then the relative density is called the specific gravity.


How do you determine relative density of butter?

When you find the relative density of butter, use the formula for density = mass/volume. First find the mass, or weight of the butter, and then divide the butter by its volume.


What is the density method?

mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)


What are the metric units for length mass weight volume and density?

meters, grams, liters Density is mass divided by volume.


What is the method?

mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)


How can you find volume?

you get volume by dividing mass by density or by achimedes/relative density method


Are mass and time relative?

Yes they are; they are not the constants that they were once considered to be.


How do you convert liters to pound?

Pounds are a unit of mass, and liters of volume. You can't convert one to the other without knowing the density of the material being measured.
