Question Details

The relative density of lead is 11.3. Its density is ....... kg m⁻³

Options

A

12000 kg m⁻³

B

11300 kg m⁻³

C

14000 kg m⁻³

D

12390 kg m⁻³

Correct Answer :

11300 kg m⁻³

Solution :

The correct option is 11300 kg m⁻³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative density (also known as specific gravity) of a substance is defined as the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of water at 4°C.

The relation is given by the formula:

Relative Density=Density of substanceDensity of water

Rearranging the formula to solve for the density of the substance:

Density of substance=Relative Density×Density of water

The density of water in SI units at 4°C is a standard reference value:

Density of water=1000 kg m-3

We are given:
Relative density of lead = 11.3

Substitute the relative density of lead and the density of water into the equation:

Density of lead=11.3×1000 kg m-3

Density of lead=11300 kg m-3

Therefore, the density of lead is 11300 kg m⁻³.
