81. Water has a density of 1.0 g cm−3 . Glycerine has a density of 1.3 g cm−3 . A student measures out a
volume of 40 cm3 of glycerine into a container. She adds water to the container to make a mixture
of water and glycerine. Assume that the total volume of water and glycerine does not change when
the two liquids are mixed.
