Question

Empty beaker weighs 26.33 g and total mass (filled with water and contents) is 409.75 g. Using D= 1.00 g/mL as density of water. Find volume that a beaker holds.

Answer 1

383.42 mL

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Mass of the empty beaker = 26.33 g

Total mass (filled with water and contents) = 409.75 g

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

What to find:

The volume that the beaker holds.

Step-by-step solution:

The volume that the beaker holds will be equal to the volume of water in the beaker.

Mass of water = Total mass - Mass of empty beaker

Mass of water = 409.75 g - 26.33 g

Mass of water = 383.42 g

Since Density = Mass/Volume, then

Volume = Mass/Density

Putting mass = 383.42 g and density = 1.00 g/mL

Volume = 383.42 g/1.00 g/mL

Volume = 383.42 mL

Hence, the volume that the beaker holds is 383.42 L
