Some packets of ghee or oil are labelled with a volume of 1 litre but a weight Class 8
Some packets of ghee or oil are labelled with a volume of 1 litre but a weight of only say 910 grams. What does this tell us about the density of the oil, and is it less or more than that of water? Class 8
Answer:
It tells us that for the same volume, the density of oil is less than water.
Water has a density of 1 gram per millilitre, so 1 litre of water weighs 1000 grams. But if 1 litre of oil weighs only 910 grams, its density is less than 1g / mL.
