Chapter 3, Problem 3.34P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct formula to estimate the density of the mixture should be determined and the density of the liquid mixture should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a liquid mixture is prepared by mixing N different liquids. The properties of the mixture are given as follows,

The densities of different liquids are ρ1 , ρ2 , ρ3 …….. ρN.

The volume of the component i added to the mixture is Vi

The mass fraction of the ith component is xi

It is assumed that components are completely miscible.

The following two formulas are given to estimate the density of the mixture.

Equation 1:

ρmix=i=1nXiρi

Equation 2:

1ρmix=i=1nxiρi

Where ρmix is the density of the mixture.
