Question 1145503: A glass vessel weighed 20.2376g when empty and 20.3102g when filled to an etched mark with water at 4 degrees Celsius. The same vessel was then dried and filled to the same mark with a solution at 4 degrees Celsius. The vessel was now found to weigh 20.3102g. What is the density of the solution?
I am completely confused on where to start with this
Can you help me figure out what to do???

It is a joke problem, actually . . . , and the answer is

* * * the density of the solution is exactly equal to the density of water at 4 degrees of Celsius. * * *

Any kindergarten alumni having certificate of graduation can answer this question.

Comment from student : This sounds stupid but how do you find the density of the water??😞
------------------

My response : Good question.

Every educated person must know the answer.
