As an instructor is preparing for an experiment, he requires 225 phosphoric acid. The only container readily available is a 150-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Is it large enough to contain the acid, whose density is 1.83 g/mL?

Respuesta :

Answer: Yes it is large enough to store the acid.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Given : Mass of acid = 225 grams

Density of acid = [tex]1.83g/ml[/tex]

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]Volume=\frac{mass}{density}[/tex]

[tex]Volume=\frac{225g}{1.83g/ml}=123ml[/tex]

Thus volume of the acid is [tex]123ml[/tex] and thus Erlenmeyer flask with volume of 150 ml is enough to contain the acid.
