Question

What volume of a liquid having a density of 1.48 g/cm^3 is needed to supply 5.00 grams of the liquid?

Answer 1

The volume of the liquid is 3.39 cubic centimeters

Explanation:

What to find? Volume

Given parameters

• The density of the liquid = 1.48 g/cm^3

,

• mass = 5.00 grams

The formula for density is given below

`\text{Density = }\frac{mass}{\text{volume}}`

The next thing is to substitute the above parameters into the formula

`\begin{gathered} 1.48\text{ = }(5)/(v) \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 5\text{ = 1.48 x v} \\ 1.48v\text{ = 5} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 1.48} \\ (1.48v)/(1.48)\text{ = }(5)/(1.48) \\ \text{ v = }3.39cm^3 \end{gathered}`
