Question

The mass of water needed to fill a flask (different than the flask discussed in the previous question) is 186.88 g. The density of water at various temperatures is listed in Appendix E of your laboratory manual. If the temperature is 24°C, what is the volume of the flask in liters?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.18739 L is the volume of the flask.

Explanation:

Density is the ratio of the mass and the volume. Density is defined as:-

$Density\ (\rho)=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Given that:-

Mass = 186.88 g

Temperature = 24 °C

From the literature values, the value of the density of the water at this temperature is:- 0.997296 g/mL

So,

$Volume=\frac{Mass}{\rho}$

$Volume=\frac{186.88\ g}{0.997296\ g/mL}=187.39\ mL$

Also, 1 mL = 0.001 L. So, 187.39 mL = 0.18739 L

0.18739 L is the volume of the flask.
