Question

When a sample of an unknown solid is placed in a container and water is added until the container is completely filled, the total mass of the container, solid and water is 90.80 g. The mass of the water is 18.00 g and the density of water is 0.998 g/cm3. The container has a volume of 20.00 cm3 and weighs 51.20 g when empty. Calculate the density of the unknown solid.

Step 1

00 cm^3 Mass of water = 18.00 g Density of water = 0.998 g/cm^3 Volume of sample = Volume of container - Volume of water Volume of sample = 20.00 cm^3 - (18.00 g / 0.998 g/cm^3) Volume of sample = 20.00 cm^3 - 18.036 cm^3 Volume of sample = 1.964 cm^3 Show more…
