Density is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume.
Density = [tex] \frac{Mass}{Volume} [/tex] (1)
Mass of water = 10 grams
Mass of acetone = 10 grams
Density of water = 1 [tex] \frac{g}{cm^{3}} [/tex]
Density of acetone = 0.7857 [tex] \frac{g}{cm^{3}} [/tex]
Put the value of density of water and its mass in equation (1)
1 [tex] \frac{g}{cm^{3}} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{10 g}{volume} [/tex]
Volume of water = 10 [tex] cm^{3} [/tex]
Put the value of density of acetone and its mass in equation (1)
0.7857 [tex] \frac{g}{cm^{3}} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{10 g}{volume} [/tex]
Volume of acetone = 12.72 [tex] cm^{3} [/tex]
Thus, volume of acetone is more than volume of water because the density of acetone is lower.
