Chemical Process Calculation Questions and Answers – Density and specific gravity-III

This set of Chemical Process Calculation Questions and Answers for experienced focuses on “Density and specific gravity-III”.

1. A cube of ice is floating on water surface and when it completely melts, the level of water would _______
a) Increase
b) Decrease
c) Remains unchanged
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: There is no change in the volume of the water as the space occupied by the ice inside the water body is filled with it.

2. An object is once immersed in oil and once in water. The loss in weight would be
a) More in water
b) More in oil
c) Equal in both oil and water
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Density of oil is more than water so there will be more buoyancy force.

3. Volume of the petroleum products changes with temperature so __________ is used to measure specific gravity.
a) Density
b) Specific volume
c) API gravity
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Volume of the petroleum products changes with temperature so API gravity is used to measure specific gravity.

5-6. If a block has dimensions 6 x 8 x 9 cm and the specific gravity is 2.3.
5. What is the density?
a) 2.3 gm/cm3
b) 0.256 gm/cm3
c) 2.659 gm/cm3
d) .00568 gm/cm3
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Density of the block = specific gravity*Density of water (1 gm/cm3).

6. What is the mass of the block?
a) 99.36 Kg
b) 9.996 Kg
c) 0.9936 Kg
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer:c
Explanation: Mass = density*Volume.
