The correct Answer is:
To find the density of a liquid given its relative density, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of relative density Relative density (also known as specific gravity) is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, typically water. The formula is: \[ \text{Relative Density} = \frac{\text{Density of Liquid}}{\text{Density of Water}} \] ### Step 2: Identify the density of water in different systems - In the C.G.S. (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system, the density of water is approximately \(1 \, \text{g/cm}^3\). - In the S.I. (International System of Units) system, the density of water is approximately \(1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3\). ### Step 3: Calculate the density of the liquid in the C.G.S. system Given that the relative density of the liquid is \(0.8\): \[ \text{Density of Liquid} = \text{Relative Density} \times \text{Density of Water} \] Substituting the values for the C.G.S. system: \[ \text{Density of Liquid} = 0.8 \times 1 \, \text{g/cm}^3 = 0.8 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the density of the liquid in the S.I. system Using the same formula for the S.I. system: \[ \text{Density of Liquid} = \text{Relative Density} \times \text{Density of Water} \] Substituting the values for the S.I. system: \[ \text{Density of Liquid} = 0.8 \times 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 = 800 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] ### Final Answers: (i) The density of the liquid in C.G.S. system is \(0.8 \, \text{g/cm}^3\). (ii) The density of the liquid in S.I. unit is \(800 \, \text{kg/m}^3\). ---
