Question

89.0 mL of a liquid is massed in a graduated cylinder. The total mass is 437.2 g. The empty graduated cylinder has a mass of 277.0 g. What is the density of the liquid?

Answer 1

To find the density of the liquid, we need to calculate the mass of the liquid and divide it by its volume.

Steps:

Determine the mass of the liquid by subtracting the mass of the empty graduated cylinder from the total mass:
437.2 g - 277.0 g = 160.2 g

Convert the volume of the liquid from mL to L:
89.0 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.089 L

Calculate the density by dividing the mass of the liquid by its volume:
160.2 g / 0.089 L = 1,801.12 g/L
So, the density of the liquid is 1,801.12 g/L.
