How can you find the relative density of a liquid?

As we know that


There are some steps which we can follow for determination of relative density of the liquid, these are –


● First we will take some water in a 50ml bottle and measured its weight (lets w1).


● Measured the empty weight of the 50ml bottle (lets w2).


● Now the weight of water will be = weight of bottle with liquid – weight of empty bottle


=w1-w2.


● Fill the bottle with some other liquid and measured its weight (w3).


Now the weight of the liquid will be = weight of bottle with liquid –weight of empty bottle


= w3-w2


Then according to the relative density formula we have
