Question

A solution was dispensed from a buret into a tared beaker. The following data was recorded: initial buret reading: 35.00 mLs final buret reading: 45.91 mLs mass of solution dispensed: 24.10 grams What was the density of the solution, in g/mL? (

Answer 1

2.209g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between its mass (Generally in grams) and its volume (Generally in mililiters).

The volume dispensed in a buret is: Final volume - Initial volume. In the problem:

45.91mL - 35.00mL = 10.91mL

As the mass of solution dispensed is 24.10g, density is:

24.10g / 10.91mL = 2.209g/mL

I hope it helps!
