40m3 of liquid is mixed with 60m3 of another liquid Q. If the density of P and Q are 1.00kgm-3 and 1.6kgm-3 respectively, what is the density of the mixture?

  • A. 0.05kgm-3
  • B. 1.25kgm-3
  • C. 1.30kgm-3
  • D. 1.36kgm-3

Correct Answer: D. 1.36kgm-3

Explanation

Mp = 1 x 40 = 40kg ; mQ = 1.6 x 60 = 96kg

volume of mixture = 40 + 60 = 100m3

mass of mixture = 40 + 96 = 136kg

density of mixture = \(\frac{136}{100}\)

= 1.36kgm3
