A chemistry student needs 55.0g of carbon tetrachloride for an experiment. by consulting the crc handbook of chemistry and physics, the student discovers that the density of carbon tetrachloride is 1.59·gcm−3 . calculate the volume of carbon tetrachloride the student should pour out.

Respuesta :

The volume of a substance is simply the ratio of mass and density. Therefore:

volume = mass / density

 

Calculating for volume of Carbon Tetrachloride that the student has to pour out:

volume = 55.0 g / (1.59 g / cm^3)

volume = 34.60 cm^3
