An empty with an unknown volume is weighed and found to have a mass of 81.2 grams. The container is then filled with a liquid with a density of 1.045 g/cm3 and re-weighed. The mass of the container and the liquid is 161.4 grams. Determine the volume of the container to the appropriate number of significant figures.
Generally we can find the volume of container by filling it with liquid and then measuring the volume of liquid. In the given question also we provided with mass of liquid and density of liquid to measure the volume of liquid, which is same as volume of container.
