Question

Chloroform is a liquid once used for anesthetic. What is the volume of 5.0 g of chloroform? The density of chloroform 1.49 g/mL

Answer 1

3.3557047 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density can be found using the following formula:

`d=(m)/(v)`

Let's rearrange the formula to find the volume,
`v`.

`d*v=(m)/(v)*v`

`d*v=m`

`(d*v)/(d) =(m)/(d)`

`v=(m)/(d)`

The volume can be found by dividing the mass by the density. The mass of the chloroform is 5 grams and the density is 1.49 grams per milliliter. Therefore,

`m= 5g \\d= 1.49 g/mL`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`v=(5g)/(1.49 g/mL)`

Divide. When we divide, the grams, or g, in the numerator and denominator will cancel out.

`v= (5)/(1.49)mL`

`v=3.3557047 mL`

The volume of 5 grams of chloroform is 3.3557047 milliliters
