Question

A student measures 48.8 mL of concentrated nitric acid, which has a density of 1.55g/ mL. What is the mass of the acid?

Answer 1

The mass of the acid : 75.64 g

Further explanation

Given

volume = 48.8 ml

density = 1.55 g/ml

Required

the mass

Solution

Further explanation

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

Density formula:

`\large{\boxed {\bold {\rho~=~ \frac {m} {V}}}}`

Input the value :

mass = ρ x V

mass = 1.55 g/ml x 48.8 ml

mass = 75.64 g
