Question

A 50.0 mL Erlenmeyer flask filled with 1-hexanol has a mass of

Answer 1

Answer: The density of 1-hexanol will be $0.8136g/ml$

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

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

Given :

Mass of Erlenmeyer flask + Mass of 1-hexanol = 61.45 grams

Mass of Erlenmeyer flask = 20.77 g

Mass of 1-hexanol = (61.45 - 20.77) g = 40.68 g

Volume of Erlenmeyer flask= Volume of 1-hexanol = 50 ml

Putting in the values we get:

$Density=\frac{40.68g}{50ml}=0.8136g/ml$

Thus density of the 1-hexanol will be $0.8136g/ml$
