The density of a pure liquid at 25 degrees Celsius was calculated by determining the mass and volume of a sample of the liquid.
A student measured the mass of a clean, dry 25.00 mL volumetric flask, filled the flask to its calibration mark with the liquid, and then measured the mass of the flask and liquid. The recorded measurements are shown in the table above. On the basis of this information, to how many significant figures should the density of the liquid be reported?

<u>Answer:</u> The density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Mass of cylinder, = 21.577 g
Mass of NaCl and cylinder combined, M = 39.664 g
Mass of NaCl, =
To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:
We are given:
Mass of NaCl = 18.087 g
Volume of NaCl solution = 4.602 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL
