Assuming you meant 50.0 cm³. Just multiply by the density to get grams.


50.0 cm ^(3) * (1.5 g)/(1cm^(3) ) = 75 g

Answer: The mass of chloroform is 75 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:


Density=(Mass)/(Volume)

We are given:

Density of chloroform =
1.5g/cm^3

Volume of chloroform =
50cm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:


1.5g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of chloroform}}{50cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of chloroform}=75g

Hence, the mass of chloroform is 75 grams.
