Question

SOLVE The density of a gas is 0.68 g/mL. What amount of space would 23.8 g of this gas occupy?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 35 mL

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$Density(\rho) = \frac{mass}{volume}$

From the question we are finding the amount of space the gas will occupy that's the volume of the gas

Making volume the subject we have

$volume = \frac{mass}{Density}$

From the question

mass = 23.8 g/mL

Density = 0.68 g/mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

$volume = \frac{23.8}{0.68}$

We have the final answer as

35 mL
