What are the densities of 5% (m/m) glycerin and 60% (m/m) glycerin?
DENSITY= MASS/VOLUME
MASS= NO.OF MOLES X MOLECULAR MASS
1, Assume some fixed volume of the solution.
For convenience, let's assume a volume of 1 L
DENSITY OF GLYCERIN = 1.26 g/cm3
so concentrated grycerin in 1 L = 1260 g
5% of glycerin = 1260 x 5/100
=63g
=mass/density = 63/1.26
= 50ml
remaining volume of solvent= 950ml
let us assume water as solvent
mass of water = density x volume
= 1 x 950=950g
density of 5% glycerin= 63+950/1000
= 1.013g/ml
similarly,
60% of glycerin = 756g
=756/1.26
=600ml
remaining volume of solvent = 1000-600
= 400ml
mass of water = density x volume
= 1 x 400=400g
density of 5% glycerin= 756+400/1000
= 1.156g/ml
