Question

Calculate the density of a 0.03020 L sample of ethyl alcohol with a mass of 23.71002 g (round to the nearest thousandth, three spots after the decimal).

Option 1: Option 1: The density is 0.785 g/mL.
Option 2: The density is 0.786 g/mL.
Option 3: The density is 0.784 g/mL.
Option 4: The density is 0.787 g/mL.

Answer 1

The density of the ethyl alcohol sample is 0.783 g/mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the formula: density = mass/volume. In this case, the mass is given as 23.71002 g and the volume is given as 0.03020 L. Substituting these values into the formula, we get density = 23.71002 g / 0.03020 L = 783.145 g/L. Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the density is 0.783 g/mL.
