11. Which liquid has lowest density?
a) Acetic acid
b) Pure water
c) Olive oil
d) Sea Water
Answer: c
Clarification: Olive oil has lowest density. Its density is 911kg/m3. Pure water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 and Sea Water has a density of 1022 kg/m3. Acetic acid has the highest density among the four, with a density of 1049 kg/m3.

12. Which liquid will have more mass for same amount of volume?
a) Brine
b) Chloroform
c) Olive oil
d) Sea Water
Answer: b
Clarification: We know density=mass/volume
Since volume is constant so, mass is directly proportional to liquid. Therefore the liquid with highest density has the highest mass.
Olive oil has density is 911 kg/m3. Sea Water has a density of 1022kg/m3. Brine has a density of 1230kg/m3. Chloroform has the highest density among the four, with a density of 1489 kg/m3.
Therefore chloroform will have the highest mass.

13. Which liquid will have more mass for same amount of volume?
a) Coconut oil
b) Phosgene
c) Castor oil
d) Sea Water
Answer: b
Clarification: We know density=mass/volume
Since volume is constant so, mass is directly proportional to liquid. Therefore the liquid with highest density has the highest mass.
Castor oil has density is 952 kg/m3. Sea Water has a density of 1022kg/m3. Coconut oil has a density of 930kg/m3. Phosgene has the highest density among the four, with a density of 1378kg/m3.
Therefore Phosgene will have the highest mass.
