When placed in a pycnometer, 20 g of salt displaces 7.6 g of kerosene. If the mass density of kerosene is 0.83 g/cm^3, find the volume and density of the salt.
Added by Emanuel J.
Step 1
We know that the mass of the kerosene displaced is 7.6 g and its mass density is 0.83 g/cm^3. We can use the formula for density, which is mass/volume, and rearrange it to find volume, which gives us volume = mass/density. So, the volume of the kerosene Show more…

When placed in a pycnometer, 20 g of salt displaces 7.6 g of kerosene. If the mass density of kerosene is 0.83 g/cm^3, find the volume and density of the salt. An irregular metallic solid has a mass of 35 g. If its length is 10 cm, its width 8 cm, and its thickness 5 cm, what is the mass density of the metal? A thin sheet of gold foil has an area of 3.05 cm^2 and a mass of 6.3 mg. How thick is the foil? The mass density of gold is 19,300 kg/m^3.
