Question

What is the volume in milliliters of 7.26 g of acetone? (Acetone has a density of 0.7857 g/cm^3)

Answer 1

Density =
`(MASS)/(VOLUME)`

∴
`Volume = (MASS)/(DENSITY)`

=
`(7.26 g)/(0.7857 g / cm^(3) )`

= 9.24 cm³

Since 1 cm³ = 1 ml
Then the volume in ml would be 9.24 ml

Answer 2

Answer: The volume of acetone is 9.24 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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

`\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}`

We are given:

Density of acetone =
`0.7857g/cm^3=0.7857g/mL` (Conversion factor:
`1cm^3=1mL` )

Mass of acetone = 7.26 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`0.7857g/mL=\frac{7.26g}{\text{Volume of acetone}}\\\\\text{Volume of acetone}=9.24mL`

Hence, the volume of acetone is 9.24 mL
