Final answer:
To find the volume of 7.64 g of acetone, we use the formula for density (Density = Mass / Volume), solve for volume, and plug in the mass and density values to obtain a volume of 9.72 mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking us to find the volume in milliliters of 7.64 g of acetone, given that acetone has a density of 0.7857 g/cm3. To find the volume, we can use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Rearranging this formula to solve for volume gives us:
Volume = Mass / Density
Now, plugging in the values we get:
Mass = 7.64 g
Density = 0.7857 g/cm3
Volume = 7.64 g / 0.7857 g/cm3
Performing the calculation yields:
Volume = 9.72 cm3
Since 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm3, the volume of acetone is also 9.72 mL.
