Density of mixtures

A mixture is obtained by putting together two or more substances such that they do not react with one another.

Density of a mixture lies between the densities of the constituent substances and depends on their proportions.

Volume of the mixture is obtained by summing up the masses of the individual constituents that makes the mixture and dividing it with the sum of their individual volumes. I.e

Density of the mixture=mass of the mixture /volume of the mixture
