Question

What volume is occupied by 35.2 g of carbon tetrachloride if its density is 1.60 g/ml?

Answer 1

Density is mass divided by volume. Therefore, volume is mass divided by density.

`V=(m)/(\rho)=(35.2g)/(1.60(g)/(ml))=22.0\ ml`

Answer 2

Answer : The volume of carbon tetrachloride is 22.0 mL

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Formula used for density :

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

Given :

Mass of carbon tetrachloride = 35.2 grams

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 g/mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the volume of carbon tetrachloride.

`1.60g/mL=(35.2g)/(Volume)`

`Volume=(35.2g)/(1.60g/mL)`

`Volume=22.0mL`

Therefore, the volume of carbon tetrachloride is 22.0 mL
