Question

An empty beaker weighs 40.25 g. When completely filled with water, the beaker and its contents have a total mass of 317.45 g. What volume does the beaker hold? Use ????=1.00 g/mL as the density of water.

Answer 1

The beaker holds 277.2 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Empty weight of beaker = 40.25 g

Weight of beaker with water = 317.45 g

Weight of water = 317.45 - 40.25 = 277.2 g

Density of water = 1 g/mL

We have

Mass = Volume x density

277.2 = Volume x 1

Volume = 277.2 mL

The beaker holds 277.2 mL
