To solve this problem, we will first find the mass of the paraffin, then use the relative density of paraffin to find the mass of an equal volume of water, and finally calculate the total mass of the bottle when filled with water.
Step 1: Calculate the mass of the paraffin.
The mass of the empty bottle is 30 g.
The mass of the bottle filled with paraffin is 70 g.
The mass of the paraffin (mparaffin) is the difference between these two masses:
mparaffin=mbottle+paraffin−mempty
mparaffin=70g−30 g
mparaffin=40 g
Step 2: Use the relative density of paraffin to find the mass of an equal volume of water.
Relative density (RD) is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. For equal volumes, it is also the ratio of the mass of the substance to the mass of water.
RDparaffin=mwater(samevolume)mparaffin
We are given RDparaffin=0.8 and we found mparaffin=40 g. We need to find mwater(samevolume).
0.8=mwater(samevolume)40g
Rearrange the formula to solve for mwater(samevolume):
mwater(samevolume)=0.840g
mwater(samevolume)=50 g
Step 3: Calculate the mass of the bottle when filled with water.
The mass of the bottle filled with water (mbottle+water) is the sum of the mass of the empty bottle and the mass of the water that fills it:
mbottle+water=mempty+mwater(samevolume)
mbottle+water=30g+50 g
mbottle+water=80 g
The final answer is 80g.
