The mass of a 50-mL volumetric flask is 40.638 g. After adding 15.0 mL of 95% ethanol and adding enough water to complete the volume to 50.00 mL, the flask weighed 88.219 g. What is the density of the mixture?

Answer

0.9516 grams / mL (50.00 has 4 sig digs.)

Remark

You have a couple of extraneous numbers there. You don't care about anything except the mass of the flask +  water/alcohol mixture  (88.219 grams). and the mass of the flask (40.638 grams)

Formulas

  • mass water/alcohol mixture = mass of the flask with fluid - mass flask
  • density = mass / volume

Solution

mass water/alcohol mixture = 88.219 - 40.638 = 47.581

  • Volume = 50 mL
  • Density = mass / Volume
  • Density = 47.581/50
  • Density = 0.95162  There are 4 sig digs so the answer should be
  • 0.9516
