Question

What is the mass of 250 mL of benzene when the density of benzene is

0.8786g/mL 0.8786g/mL?
a) 219.65 g
b) 175.44 g
c) 219.35 g
d) 197.15 g

Answer 1

To calculate the mass of benzene, multiply the volume (250 mL) by the density (0.8786 g/mL) to obtain a mass of 219.65 g, which is option a).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of benzene, you need to multiply its volume by its density. Given the density of benzene as 0.8786 g/mL, the mass of 250 mL of benzene is calculated as follows:

Mass = Volume × Density

Mass = 250 mL × 0.8786 g/mL

Mass = 219.65 g

Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 219.65 g.
