The density of a liquid is determined by successively weighing 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mL of the liquid in a 250-mL beaker. If volume of liquid is plotted along the horizontal axis, and total mass of beaker plus liquid is plotted on the vertical axis: .a..The line will pass through the origin. .b..The slope of the line is independent of the identity of the liquid. .c..The y, or vertical, intercept is the weight of the empty beaker. .d..The slope of the line is 1.0. .e..The x, or horizontal, intercept is the negative value of the weight of the beaker.

How do you figure out how to solve this question?

The density of a liquid is determined by successively weighing 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mL of the liquid in a 250-mL beaker. If volume of liquid is plotted along the horizontal axis, and total mass of beaker plus liquid is plotted on the vertical axis:

  • .a..The line will pass through the origin.
  • .b..The slope of the line is independent of the identity of the liquid.
  • .c..The y, or vertical, intercept is the weight of the empty beaker.
  • .d..The slope of the line is 1.0.
  • .e..The x, or horizontal, intercept is the negative value of the weight of the beaker.
