An unknown liquid was found to have density of 69.22 lb/f. The density of ethylene glycol (the liquid used in
antifreeze) is 1.1088 g/mL. Is the unknown liquid ethylene glycol?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes, the unknown substance is the liquid ethylene glycol.

Explanation:

Here the density of the unknown substance is 69.22lb/f and the density of ethylene glycol, the liquid used in antifreeze is 1.1088g/ml

We know, 1g  = 0.0022lb

1ml= [tex]3.531 \times 10^{-5} ft^3[/tex]

Therefore, 1g/ml = 62.428[tex]lb/ft^3[/tex]

Since, the density of ethylene glycol = 1.1088g/ml

 = 1.1088 [tex]\times[/tex] 62.428 [tex]lb/ft^3[/tex]

= 69.22 [tex]lb/ft^3[/tex]

When the density of ethylene gas is converted from g/ml unit to [tex]lb/ft^3[/tex] unit, it is found to have the same value (69.22)Therefore, the unknown substance here is liquid ethylene glycol.
