Question

A weight of 22.25g was obtained when 10-mL of water at 27C was pipet to empty Erlenmeyer flask. What is the volume delivered by the pipet?

Answer 1

Answer:

the volume delivered by the pipette = 22.32 mL

Explanation:

To calculate this, let us first note that the density of water relates it weight and its volume (density = mass ÷ volume), hence we are going to use density to determine the volume.

Density of water = mass/volume = 0.997 g/ mL

mass = 22.25g

Density = 0.997g/mL

volume = ?

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}\\\therefore volume = \frac{mass}{density}\\volume = \frac{22.25}{0.997}\\volume = 22.32\ mL$

∴ the volume delivered by the pipette = 22.32 mL

Please note that this calculation is based on the fact that the weight of the empty flask has been determined and canceled out.
