Question

The density of nitroglycerine is 1.60 g/ml what is the volume in liters of a mole of liquid nitroglycerine

Answer 1

To be able to calculate the volume, we need the data on the molar mass and density of the substance nitroglycerine. The molar mass of nitroglycerine is 227.09 g/mol. We calculate as follows:

1 mol ( 227.09 g/mol) ( 1 mL / 1.60 g ) = 141.93 mL
