The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the densities of two liquids A and B given that they have equal volumes, specific heats in the ratio of 2:3, and the same thermal capacity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information:** - Let the specific heat of liquid A be \( s_A \) and that of liquid B be \( s_B \). - According to the problem, the ratio of their specific heats is given as: \[ \frac{s_A}{s_B} = \frac{2}{3} \] 2. **Define Thermal Capacity:** - The thermal capacity \( C \) of a substance is defined as: \[ C = m \cdot s \] - Where \( m \) is the mass and \( s \) is the specific heat. 3. **Set Up the Equation for Thermal Capacities:** - Since the thermal capacities of both liquids are the same, we can write: \[ C_A = C_B \] - This means: \[ m_A \cdot s_A = m_B \cdot s_B \] 4. **Express Mass in Terms of Density and Volume:** - The mass of each liquid can be expressed as: \[ m_A = \rho_A \cdot V_A \quad \text{and} \quad m_B = \rho_B \cdot V_B \] - Since the volumes are equal (\( V_A = V_B \)), we can denote the volume as \( V \): \[ m_A = \rho_A \cdot V \quad \text{and} \quad m_B = \rho_B \cdot V \] 5. **Substitute Mass into the Thermal Capacity Equation:** - Substituting the expressions for mass into the thermal capacity equation gives: \[ \rho_A \cdot V \cdot s_A = \rho_B \cdot V \cdot s_B \] - Since \( V \) is common and non-zero, we can cancel it out: \[ \rho_A \cdot s_A = \rho_B \cdot s_B \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation:** - Rearranging the equation to find the ratio of densities: \[ \frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B} = \frac{s_B}{s_A} \] 7. **Substituting the Ratio of Specific Heats:** - From the ratio of specific heats \( \frac{s_A}{s_B} = \frac{2}{3} \), we can find \( \frac{s_B}{s_A} \): \[ \frac{s_B}{s_A} = \frac{3}{2} \] 8. **Final Calculation of Density Ratio:** - Therefore, substituting this back into the density ratio gives: \[ \frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of the densities of liquids A and B is: \[ \rho_A : \rho_B = 3 : 2 \]
