What is the volume in milliliters of 7.26 g of acetone? (Acetone has a density of 0.7857 g/cm^3)
Density = \(\frac{MASS}{VOLUME}\)
∴ \(Volume = \frac{MASS}{DENSITY}\)
= \(\frac{7.26 g}{0.7857 g / cm^{3} }\)
= 9.24 cm³
Since 1 cm³ = 1 ml
Then the volume in ml would be 9.24 ml
Answer: The volume of acetone is 9.24 mL
Explanation:
To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:
\(\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}\)
We are given:
Density of acetone = \(0.7857g/cm^3=0.7857g/mL\) (Conversion factor: \(1cm^3=1mL\) )
Mass of acetone = 7.26 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(0.7857g/mL=\frac{7.26g}{\text{Volume of acetone}}\\\\\text{Volume of acetone}=9.24mL\)
Hence, the volume of acetone is 9.24 mL
