Question

A liquid solvent is added to a flask containing an insoluble solid. The total volume of the solid and liquid together is 84.0 mL.84.0 mL. The liquid solvent has a mass of 35.9 g35.9 g and a density of 0.865 g/mL.0.865 g/mL. Determine the mass of the solid given its density is 2.50 g/mL.

Answer 1

Let's first find the volume of the liquid that was added:

35.9 g x 1 ml / 0.865 g = 41.50 mls

Next, we can find the volume of the insoluble solid:

84.0 mls - 41.50 mls = 42.5 mls

Finally, we can calculate the mass of the solid:

42.5 mls x 2.50 g / ml = 106 g (3 sig.figs.)
