Question

Chemistry student needs of 55g acetone for an experiment. by consulting the crc handbook of chemistry and physics, the student discovers that the density of acetone is . calculate the volume of acetone the student should pour out. round your answer to significant digits.

Answer 1

70.15 cm³

Solution:

Data Given;

Mass = 55 g

Density = 0.784 g.cm⁻³

Required:

Volume = ?

Formula Used:

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Volume,

Volume = Mass ÷ Density

Putting values,

Volume = 55 g ÷ 0.784 g.cm⁻³

Volume = 70.15 cm³
