Answer:
1.64 g/mL
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the mass of the solid
m(solid+flask) = m(solid) + m(flask)
m(solid) = m(solid+flask) - m(flask)
m(solid) = 48.8565 g - 35.9325 g = 12.9240 g
Step 2: Calculate the mass of water
m(solid+flask+water) = m(solid+flask) + m(water)
m(water) = m(solid+flask+water) - m(solid+flask)
m(water) = 140.8321 g - 48.8565 g = 91.9756 g
Step 3: Calculate the volume occupied by 91.9756 g of water
The density of water is 0.998203 g/mL.
91.9756 g × 1 mL/0.998203 g = 92.1412 mL
Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by the solid
The 100.00 mL are occupied by the solid and the water.
100.00 mL = V(solid) + V(water
V(solid) = 100.00 mL - V(water)
V(solid) = 100.00 mL - 92.1412 mL = 7.86 mL
Step 5: Calculate the density of the solid
12.9240 g of the solid occupy 7.86 mL.
ρ = 12.9240 g/7.86 mL = 1.64 g/mL
