The following procedure was used to determine the volume of a flask. The flask was weighed dry and then filled with water. If the masses of the empty flask and filled flask were $56.12 \mathrm{~g}$ and $87.39 \mathrm{~g}$, respectively, and the density of water is $0.9976 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$, calculate the volume of the flask in $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$.

Key Concepts

Density

Density is a fundamental physical property that defines the relationship between mass and volume, typically expressed as mass per unit volume. Understanding density is crucial to converting between mass and volume, which is often required in experiments and calculations to determine the capacity or volume of a container.

Mass Difference

The mass difference is a method used to determine the net mass of a substance added to a container by subtracting the mass of the empty container from the mass of the filled container. This concept is applicable in cases where a direct volume measurement is challenging, and the added substance's mass, along with its known density, can be used to calculate volume.

Volume Calculation

Volume calculation using the relationship between mass and density is based on the formula Volume = Mass/Density. This concept is pivotal in experiments where the volume of a container is determined indirectly by measuring the mass of a substance (like water) that it can hold, and then using its density to compute the volume.
