<u>Answer:</u> The density of the quartz is 2.68 g/mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Volume of graduated cylinder = 50.3 mL
Volume of quartz + graduated cylinder = 64.8 mL
Volume of quartz = [64.8 - 50.3] mL = 14.5 mL
To calculate the density of substance, we use the equation:
Mass of quartz = 38.9 g
Volume of quartz = 14.5 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the density of the quartz is 2.68 g/mL

Answer: -
12.41 g
Explanation: -
Mass of CO₂ = 42 g
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 x 1 + 16 x 2 = 44 g / mol
Number of moles of CO₂ =
= 0.9545 mol
The balanced chemical equation for this process is
2C₆H₆ + 15O₂ → 12CO₂ + 6H₂O
From the balanced chemical equation we see
12 mol of CO₂ is produced from 2 mol of C₆H₆
0.9545 mol of CO₂ is produced from
= 0.159 mol of C₆H₆
Molar mass of C₆H₆ = 12 x 6 + 1 x 6 =78 g /mol
Mass of C₆H₆ =Molar mass x Number of moles
= 78 g / mol x 0.159 mol
= 12.41 g
