That statement is true because to make a diluted solution, you have to add more solvent than the solute in a concentrated solution. This is extra information, but to make a diluted solution more concentrated, you have to add more solute since a concentrated solution has an excess amount of solute as stated before.
Answer
0.9516 grams / mL (50.00 has 4 sig digs.)
Remark
You have a couple of extraneous numbers there. You don't care about anything except the mass of the flask + water/alcohol mixture (88.219 grams). and the mass of the flask (40.638 grams)
Formulas
- mass water/alcohol mixture = mass of the flask with fluid - mass flask
- density = mass / volume
Solution
mass water/alcohol mixture = 88.219 - 40.638 = 47.581
- Volume = 50 mL
- Density = mass / Volume
- Density = 47.581/50
- Density = 0.95162 There are 4 sig digs so the answer should be
- 0.9516
46 gram of ethanol ≡ 1 mole of ethanol
1 gram of ethanol ≡ 1/46 mole of ethanol
10 gram of ethanol ≡ 1*10/46 mole of ethanol
=0.217 mole of ethanol
Lipid you can look up the chemical structures and lipids are the longest which make them the largest
