A 50.0 mL Erlenmeyer flask filled with 1-hexanol has a mass of
61.45 g. The mass of just the Erlenmeyer flask is 20.77 g. What
is the density of 1-hexanol?
g/mL

Respuesta :

yes it is correct for that answer

Answer: The density of 1-hexanol will be [tex]0.8136g/ml[/tex]

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Given :

Mass of Erlenmeyer flask + Mass of 1-hexanol = 61.45 grams

Mass of Erlenmeyer flask = 20.77 g

Mass of 1-hexanol = (61.45 - 20.77) g = 40.68 g

Volume of Erlenmeyer flask= Volume of 1-hexanol = 50 ml

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]Density=\frac{40.68g}{50ml}=0.8136g/ml[/tex]

Thus density of the 1-hexanol will be [tex]0.8136g/ml[/tex]
