Question

A 50.0 mL Erlenmeyer flask filled with 1-hexanol has a mass of

61.45 g. The mass of just the Erlenmeyer flask is 20.77 g. What
is the density of 1-hexanol?
g/mL

Answer 1

yes it is correct for that answer

Answer 2

Answer: The density of 1-hexanol will be
`0.8136g/ml`

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

`Density=(mass)/(Volume)`

Given :

Mass of Erlenmeyer flask + Mass of 1-hexanol = 61.45 grams

Mass of Erlenmeyer flask = 20.77 g

Mass of 1-hexanol = (61.45 - 20.77) g = 40.68 g

Volume of Erlenmeyer flask= Volume of 1-hexanol = 50 ml

Putting in the values we get:

`Density=(40.68g)/(50ml)=0.8136g/ml`

Thus density of the 1-hexanol will be
`0.8136g/ml`
