Answer:
2.7 g/cm³
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the mass of kerosene
The mass of the full beaker (mFB) is equal to the sum of the masses of the empty beaker (mEB) and the mass of the kerosene (mK).
mFB = mEB + mK
mK = mFB - mEB
mK = 60 g - 20 g = 40 g
Step 2: Calculate the density of kerosene
Density (ρ) is an intrinsic property of matter. It can be calculated as the quotient between the mass of kerosene and its volume.
ρ = m/V
ρ = 40 g/15 cm³ = 2.7 g/cm³
