Question

A chemistry student needs 50.0 g of dimethyl sulfoxide for an experiment. By consulting the CRC handbook of chemistry and physics, the student discovers that the density of dimethyl sulfoxide is 1.10 g×10^-3. Calculate the volume of dimethyl sulfoxide the student should pour out

Answer 1

Answer:

45.45 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide

Explanation:

density of dimethyl sulfoxide is 1.10 g/10⁻³L which is 1.10 g/mL

now we devise the next reasoning:

If           1.10 g of dimethyl sulfoxide have a volume of 1 mL

Then     50 g of dimethyl sulfoxide have a volume of X mL

X = (50 × 1) / 1.10 = 45.45 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide
