Question

10. The density of an unknown is 5.67g/ml. How many grams are required to have a volume of 20ml?

Answer 1

Given information:

Density: 5.67 g/mL

Volume: 20 mL

Chemistry -> Measurements -> Density

Based on the density of a compound, we can make conversions between solid and liquid states. Let's take a look at the following relation:

5.67 g -------- 1 mL

x g --------- 20 mL

`\begin{gathered} (5.67)/(x)=(1)/(20) \\ \\ x=20*5.67\Rightarrow x=113.4g \end{gathered}`

To have a volume of 20 mL, 113.4 grams of this compound are needed.
