Module 2. Physics

The standard temperature and pressure for measuring the density of liquids is

  • 15 degrees C and 760 mmHg.
  • 0 degrees C and 760 mmHg.
  • 4 degrees C and 760 mmHg.

Explanation

Liquid density is referenced to where water is at its maximum density, which occurs at 4 degrees C, together with standard atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg. Using this datum gives water its reference density of 1000 kg/m3 against which other liquids are compared.
