we know that a liquid contained in a vessel exerts pressure at all points and in all directions. the pressure at a point in the liquid is same in all directions. it increases with depth inside the liquid. when a body, say a block, is immersed in a liquid, the pressure exerted upwards on the lower surface of the block(which is at a greater depth) is more than the pressure exerted downwards on the upper face of the block(which is at a lesser depth). thus there is a pressure difference between the lower and upper face of the block. since force=pressure x area, the difference between the pressures due to liquid on the two faces of the block causes the net upward force(i.e., upthrust) on the body.

How does upthrust vary liquid of different densities?

if a substance has more particles in a smaller space (higher density), then the substance can be less easily displaced and has a higher upthrust


Does every liquid weights the same?

The vast majority of liquids have different densities. The weight of a liquid depends on the force of gravity and the mass of the liquid. The mass of a liquid depends on the volume of liquid and the density of liquid. Therefore, the vast majority of liquids have different masses, densities and corresponding weights.


Do different liquids expand by different amounts for the same rise in temperature?

Yes, different liquids have different coefficients of volume expansion, which means they expand by different amounts for the same increase in temperature. This is because the molecular structure and composition of liquids vary, leading to different responses to changes in temperature.


Do the styrofoam blocks have the same density?

Not necessarily. Styrofoam blocks can have different densities depending on how they are manufactured or what they are made of. Densities can vary between different styrofoam blocks based on factors like the amount of air or other materials trapped inside the foam.


How does upthrust and gravity compare in size?

Upthrust is a force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object placed in the fluid. Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. The size of upthrust and gravity can vary depending on factors such as the density of the fluid and the mass of the object, but in general, gravity is typically stronger than upthrust.

Do all liquid have the same mass?

No, not all liquids have the same mass. The mass of a liquid depends on its density and volume. Different liquids have different densities, so their masses will vary even if they have the same volume.


How can igneous rocks be different densities?

Igneous rocks vary greatly in composition and method of formation, resulting in diverse densities.

Can two unidentified liquids with different densities be the same liquid?

It depends how you mean when you are asking... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical formula?" then the answer is yes, a simple example would be to show how the manganate and permanganate ions both have the formula (MnO4) but have different charges. Therefor, any liquid forms of the formula MnO4 could vary since the two polyatomic ions react very differently, however they would have the same chemical formula technically. However... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical composition (ie be made of the exact same molecules)?" then the answer, unfortunately, is maybe. Temperature and pressure can greatly affect the way molecules bond, and may affect the density. Therefor, if the one liquid was divided and put into two different temperatures and/or pressures then the densities could in theory change. However, this may change the state of the liquid, even possibly turning it into a gas or a plasma, and thus, it would no longer be a liquid. However, the substance would still be the "liquid" that you started with, the difference would be a change in the state of the matter. So to answer your question, yes, two unidentified liquids with different densities can be the same liquid.

Two identical flasks containing different liquids are placed on identical balances one weighing 22.57g and the other weighing 30.05g what property differs between the two liquids?

Their densities. Their volumes. Their solute molarity. How can I tell? Density = grams/milliliters so, three things can vary here, but since they are different liquids and I may assume the same volume, though you did not say that, I will say Density, final answer.

How many killogram of one gallion?

One gallon of water weighs approximately 3.785 kilograms. However, the weight can vary depending on the substance being measured, as different liquids have different densities. For example, a gallon of gasoline weighs about 2.8 kilograms. To convert gallons to kilograms for any liquid, you would need to know its density.


How many liquid mg are there in a cc?

There are 1000 milligrams (mg) in a cubic centimeter (cc) of water, as 1 cc is equivalent to 1 milliliter (mL), and 1 mL of water has a mass of approximately 1000 mg. However, this conversion can vary for liquids with different densities. For liquids other than water, you would need to know the specific density to convert cc to mg accurately.


How much does 1 cc of fluid weigh?

Cannot answer this without knowing the density of the fluid. However, 1cc of water is about 1g in weight.
