corrected question:
Determining Density and Using Density to Determine Volume or Mass
(a) Calculate the density of mercury if 1.00 × 10 g occupies a volume of 7.36 cm³
(b) Calculate the volume of 65.0 g of liquid methanol (wood alcohol) if its density is 0.791 g/mL.
(c) What is the mass in grams of a cube of gold (density = 19.32 g/cm) if the length of the cube is 2.00 cm?
(d) Calculate the density of a 374.5-g sample of copper if it has a volume of 41.8 cm³ A student needs 15.0 g of ethanol for an experiment. If the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL, how many milliliters of ethanol are needed? What is the mass, in grams, of 25.0 mL of mercury (density = 13.6 g/mL)?
Answer:
density = 
ρ=m/v ,m=ρv, v=m/ρ
(a)m=1*10g , v=7.36cm³
ρ=10/7.36 =1.36g/cm³
(b) m=65g, ρ=0.791 g/mL.
v= 65/0.791 =82.17g/mL
(c) ρ=19.32g/cm³, l=2cm, v=l³=8cm³
m=19..32*8=154.56g/cm³
(d) mass of copper=374.5g , v=41.8cm³
ρ=374.5/41.8 =8.96g/cm³
mass of ethanol=15g, density of ethanol=0.789g/mL
v=15/0.789 =19.01mL
volume of mecury=25mL, density of mercury=13.6g/mL
m=25*13.6=340g
<span>A compound is found to be 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.5% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 60. g/mol.
</span>Q1)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound.
the percentages have been given, therefore we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.
C H O
Mass in 100 g 40.0 g 6.7 g 53.5 g
Molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
Number of moles 40.0/12= 3.33 6.7/1 = 6.7 53.5/16 = 3.34
Divide by the least number of moles
3.33/3.33 = 1 6.7/3.33 = 2.01 3.34/3.33 = 1.00
after rounding off
C - 1
H - 2
O - 1
Empirical formula - CH₂O
Q2)
Molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound.
To find the number of empirical units we have to find the mass of one empirical unit.
Mass of one empirical unit = CH₂O - 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 g
Mass of one mole of compound = 60 g
Number of empirical units = 60 g / 30 g = 2
Therefore molecular formula - 2(CH₂O)
Molecular formula - C₂H₄O₂
