Answer:
It is Milk
Step-by-step explanation:
The liquid in the bottle has mass given in grams and the mass of that substance is 117 grams.
The volume of the substance is 15 cubic centimeters.
Now, using the formula of density we can estimate which substance could it be.
[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex], where 'd', is the density, 'm' is the mass, and 'v' is the volume of the substance.
Plugging the value of mass and volume we get:
[tex]d=\frac{117}{15} =7.8g/cm^3[/tex]
So the density of the substance is 7.8 grams per cubic centimeter.
It cannot be water since the density of water is 1 grams per cubic centimeter.
It cannot be gasoline because its density is 0.77 grams per cubic centimeter.
It cannot be mercury because the density of mercury is 13.56 grams per cubic centimeter.
Since, the density in this case matches the density of thick milk and hence,therefore, the liquid in the bottle is milk.
