Question

When measuring water using the graduated pipette, the mass of beaker and the water is 23.670 g. If the empty beaker weighs 13.712 g. What is the volume of water measured assuming a density of 0.9982071 g/mL.

Answer 1

The volume of water measured is 10mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Mass of mass of beaker and the water = 23.670 g

Mass of empty beaker = 13.712 g

Then, mass of water only = Total mass of of beaker and the water minus Mass of empty beaker

mass of water only = 23.670 g - 13.712 g = 9.958 g

Density = mass/volume

Given density of water = 0.9982071 g/mL

Density of water = Mass of water/ Volume of water

Then, Volume of water = Mass of water/Density of water

Volume of water = 9.958 g/0.9982071 g/mL

Volume of water = 9.975886 mL ≅ 10mL

Therefore, The volume of water measured is 10mL
