\nDefine the term density of a substance.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nDensity of a substance is defined as \u201cMass per Unit volume”.<\/p>\n
\nName the S.I. unit of density. How is it related to g Cm-3<\/sup> ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nS.I. unit of density is kg\u00a0M-3<\/sup> In C.GS. system unit of mass is g and unit of volume is Cm3<\/sup>, so CGS unit of density is g Cm-3<\/sup> (gram per cubic centimetre)
\nRelationship between S.I. and C.GS. units<\/p>\n

\nArrange the following substances in order of their increasing density:
\nIron, Cork, Brass, Water, Mercury.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nCork, Water, Iron, Brass, Mercury.<\/p>\n
\nHow does the density of a liquid (or gas) vary with temperature?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nMost of the liquids increase in volume with increase in temperature, but water shows anomalous behaviour. Water has maximum volume at 4\u00b0C and maximum density at 4\u00b0C.
\nActually, when volume increases density decreases and when volume decreases the density increases.
\nBut water when cooled from a high temperature, contracts upto 4\u00b0C because volume decreases and expands when cooled further below 4\u00b0C and hence density of water increases when it is cooled upto 4\u00b0C while decreases when cooled further below 4\u00b0C. In other words, the density of water is maximum at 4\u00b0C equal to 1 g Cm-3<\/sup> or lOOO kg m-3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
\nA given quantity of a liquid is heated. Which of the following quantity will vary and how ?
\n(a) mass, (b) volume and (c) density
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen a given quantity of liquid is heated
\n(a) Mass : does not change.
\n(b) Volume: changes and increases with rise in temperature.
\n(c) Density : Changes and decreases.
\nDensity = Mass \/ volume<\/p>\n
\nDescribe an experiment to determine the density of the material of a coin.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nDensity = Mass \/ volume
\nTo find the density of the material of a coin, we need to find its (i) mass\u2014by common beam balance and (ii) Its volume by measuring cylinder.
\nMeasure the mass of coin.
\nEXPERIMENT – Let the mass of coin shown by beam balance = M (gram) = 50 g (ray)
\nMeasure the vol. of coin.
\nInitial volume of water = V1<\/sub> = 40 ml (say)
\nFinal volume of water
\nWhen coin is added in the cylinder=V2<\/sub> = 50 ml (say)
\nThen vol. of coin = V2<\/sub> – V1<\/sub> = 50 – 40 = 10 ml<\/p>\n
\nDescribe an experiment to determine the density of a liquid.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nTo determine the density of a liquid D = M \/ V
\nWe need to find (i) the vol. of liquid say milk, (ii) mass of liquid.
\nEXPERIMENT:
\n(i) To find the mass of milk:
\nwt. of empty 100 c.c beaker = M1\u00a0<\/sub>g = 70 g (say)
\nFill the beaker (half) with milk and weigh again=M2<\/sub> g = 116 g (say)
\n(ii) To find the vol. of milk:
\nTrAnsfer this milk into measuring cylinder and note the volume V = 40 c.c (say)<\/p>\n

\nWhat is a density bottle ? How is it used to find the density of a liquid ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nDENSITY bottle is a small glass bottle having a glass stopper at its neck. The bottle can store a fixed volume of a liquid. Generally the volume of bottle is 25 ml or 50 ml. Stopper has a narrow hole through it. When bottle is filled with liquid and stopper is inserted, THE EXCESS LIQUID RISES THROUGH THE HOLE and drains out. Thus the bottle will contain the same volume of liquid each time when it is filled. It is used to determine the density of a liquid.<\/p>\n
\nDefine the term relative density of a substance.

\nRELATIVE DENSITY<\/strong>: \u201cis the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water at 4\u00b0 C.\u201d
\nOr
\nRELATIVE DENSITY<\/strong> \u201cis theratio of mass of the substance to the mass of an equal volume of water at 4\u00b0 C.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhat is the unit of relative density ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>

\nExplain the meaning of the statement \u2018relative density of aluminium is 2.7\u2019 ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe statement \u2018Relative density of aluminium is 2.7\u2019 meAns .
\nA piece of aluminium of any volume has mass 2.7 times that of an equal volume of water.
\ni.e. Aluminium is 2.7 times heavier than water.<\/p>\n
\nHow does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine whether the body will float or sink into that liquid ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nIf the density of a body is LESS than the density of LIQUID, the body will FLOAT on the surface of liquid.
\nIf the density of a body is MORE than the density of liquid, the body will SINK in a liquid.<\/p>\n

\nWhich of the following will sink or float on water ? (Densityof water = 1 g Cm-3<\/sup>)
\n(a) body A having density 500 kg\u00a0m-3<\/sup>
\n(b) body B having density 2520 kg m-3<\/sup>
\n(c) body C having density 1100 kg m-3<\/sup>
\n(d) body D having density 0.85 g m-3<\/sup>
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nDensity of water = 1 g\u00a0Cm-3<\/sup>
\n(a) Density of body A = 500 kg m-3<\/sup> = 500 \u00d7 = 0.5 = 0.5 g\u00a0Cm-3<\/sup>
\nDensity of body A \u00a1s less than density of water hence A will float on water
\n(b) Density of body B = 2520 kg m-3<\/sup> = 2520 \u00d7 1\/1000 = 2.52 g\u00a0Cm-3<\/sup>
\nDensity of body B is more than density of water and hence B will SiNK in water
\n(c) Density of body C = 1100kg\u00a0m-3<\/sup> = 1100 \u00d7 1\/1000 = 1.1 g Cm-3<\/sup>
\nis greater than water.
\nHence, body C will sink in water.
\n(d) Density of body D = 0.85 g Cm-3<\/sup> < 1.0 g Cm-3<\/sup>
\nDensity of body D is less than the density of water hence body D will FLOAT on water<\/p>\n
\nWhat is the iaw of floatation ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen a body floats in a liquid, the weight of the liquid displaced by its immersed part is equal to the total weight of the body. This is the law of floatation, i.e. while floating. Weight of the floating body = Weight of the liquid displaced by its immersed part.<\/p>\n
