Question

Calculate the density of chloroform

Answer 1

Answer: The density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL

Explanation : Given,

Volume = 40.5 mL

Mass of cylinder = 85.16 g

Mass of cylinder and liquid = 145.10 g

First we have to calculate the mass of liquid (chloroform).

Mass of liquid = Mass of cylinder and liquid - Mass of cylinder

Mass of liquid = 145.10 g - 85.6 g

Mass of liquid = 59.5 g

Now we have to calculate the density of liquid (chloroform).

Formula used:

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

Now putting g all the given values in this formula, we get:

$Density=\frac{59.5g}{40.5mL}$

$Density=1.47g/mL$

Therefore, the density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL
