Question

The tables show the mass, volume, and appearance of four unknown substances and the densities of four known substances.

Using the tables, what is unknown substance S?

Answer 1

Substance S is GLYCEROL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know what substance S represent, let us determine the density of substance S.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of S = 92.09 g

Volume of S = 73.09 mL

Density of S =..?

Density = mass /volume

Density of S = 92.09/73.09

Density of S = 1.26 g/mL

Finally, we shall determine what substance S represent as follow:

Comparing the density of substance S (i.e 1.26 g/mL) with those given in question above, substance S is GLYCEROL.
