Question

The density of a pure substance is its mass per unit volume. The density of cresol has been measured to be 1024 g/L . Calculate the mass of 405mL of cresol.

Answer 1

Answer: The mass of 405 ml of cresol is 415 grams

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

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

Given : Density of cresol = 1024 g/L

Volume of cresol = 405 ml = 0.405 L   ( 1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

$1024g/L=\frac{mass}{0.405L}$

$mass=1024g/L\times 0.405L=415g$

Thus mass of 405 ml of cresol is 415 grams
