Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:


\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of water = 10.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:


0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{10.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.779g/mL* 10.00mL)=7.79g

Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.
