Question

The density of benzene is 0.879g/mL. The volume (with 1 decimal) of 131.9g sample of benzene is how many mL?

Answer 1

Answer:

150.1 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

• Density of benzene (ρ): 0.879 g/mL

• Mass of the sample of benzene (m): 131.9 g

• Volume of the sample of benzene (V): ?

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the sample of benzene

Density is an intrinsic property. It is equal to the quotient between the mass and the volume of the sample of benzene.

ρ = m/V

V = m/ρ

V = 131.9 g/(0.879 g/mL)

V = 150.1 mL
