Answer:
Volume of acetone = 257.4 mL
Explanation:
Density = mass / volume
Density Hg = Mass Hg / Volume Hg
13.59 g/mL = Mass Hg / 15 mL Hg
13.59 g/mL . 15 mL = Mass Hg → 203.85 g
This is the mass of acetone
Density acetone = Mass acetone / Volume acetone
0.792 g/mL = 203.85 g / Volume of acetone
Volume of acetone = 203.85 g / 0.792 g/mL
Volume of acetone = 257.4 mL
Answer:
The volume of acetone is 257.4 mL
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of mercury = 15.0 mL
Density of mercury = 13.59 g/mL
Density of acetone = 0.792 g/mL
mass of acetone = mass of 15.0 mL mercury
Step 2: Calculate mass of 15.0 mL mercury
Mass = density * volume
Mass mercury = 13.59 g/mL * 15.0 mL
Mass mercury = 203.85 grams
Step 3: Calculate volume of acetone
Volume = mass / density
Volume acetone = 203.85 / 0.792
Volume acetone = 257.4 mL
The volume of acetone is 257.4 mL
