Question

A 33.17-g sample of a solid is placed in a flask. A liquid, in which the solid is insoluble, is added to the flask. The total volume of the solid and the liquid is 50.00 cm^3. The total mass is 59.68 g. The density of the liquid is 0.864 g/mL. What is the density of the solid? Construct a flow chart to illustrate how you solve the problem?

Answer 1

Density of solid is 1.72 g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1: Finding mass of liquid

Mass of liquid = Total Mass - Mass of Solid

Mass of liquid = 59.68 g - 33.17 g

Mass of liquid = 26.51 g

Step-2: Finding volume of liquid

Density of liquid = Mass of Liquid/Volume of Liquid

Volume of Liquid = Mass of Liquid/ Density of Liquid

Volume of liquid = (26.51 g)/(0.864 g/ml)

Volume of liquid = 30.68 ml = 30.68 cm^3

Step-3: Finding volume of Solid

Volume of Solid = Total Volume - Volume of Liquid

Volume of Solid = 50 cm^3 - 30.68 cm^3

Volume of Solid = 19.32 cm^3

Step-4: Finding Density of Solid

Density of Solid = Mass of Solid/Volume of Solid

Density of Solid = 33.17 g/19.32 cm^3

Density of Solid = 1.72 g/cm^3 = 1.72 g/ml
