Question 899120: A flask weights 46.8 g when it is empty and
121.6 g when filled with water. When the
same flask is filled with another liquid, the
mass is 91.2 g. What is the density of the
second liquid?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
weight of water = 121.6g - 46.8g = 74.8g

weight of unknown liquid = 91.2g - 46.8g = 44.4g

density of unknown liquid = (44.4/74.8) * (9.97 g/cm^3) = 5.92 g/cm^3
