Question

What volume is occupied by 35.2 g of carbon tetrachloride if its density is 1.60 g/ml?

Answer 1

Density is mass divided by volume. Therefore, volume is mass divided by density.

$V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{35.2g}{1.60\frac{g}{ml}}=22.0\ ml$

Answer 2

Answer : The volume of carbon tetrachloride is 22.0 mL

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Formula used for density :

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

Given :

Mass of carbon tetrachloride = 35.2 grams

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 g/mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the volume of carbon tetrachloride.

$1.60g/mL=\frac{35.2g}{Volume}$

$Volume=\frac{35.2g}{1.60g/mL}$

$Volume=22.0mL$

Therefore, the volume of carbon tetrachloride is 22.0 mL
