Question

A chemistry student needs 30.0 of tetrahydrofuran for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the student discovers that the density of tetrahydrofuran is 0.889 g x cm^-3 . Calculate the volume of tetrahydrofuran the student should pour out.

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of tetrahydrofuran the student should pour out is 33.7 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

`Density=(mass)/(Volume)`

Given : Mass of tetrahydrofuran = 30.0 grams

Density of tetrahydrofuran =
`0.889gcm^(-3)`

Putting in the values we get:

`0.889gcm^(-3)=(30.0g)/(Volume)`

`Volume=(30.0g)/(0.889gcm^(-3))=33.7cm^3=33.7ml`
`(1cm^3=1ml)`

Thus volume of tetrahydrofuran the student should pour out is 33.7 ml
