Acetone, the solvent in nail polish removers, has a density of 00.791 g/ml. what is the volume, in ml, of 25.0 g of acetone?
a. 19.8 ml
b. 31.6 ml
c. 24..2 ml
d. 25.791 ml

Respuesta :

25g/0.791g mL⁻¹ = 31.6mL
answer is B.

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 31.5 mL

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass of a substance contained per unit volume.

Formula used :

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

Given:

Mass of acetone = 25.0 g

Density of acetone = 0.791 g/mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

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

[tex]0.791g/mL=\frac{25.0g}{Volume}[/tex]

[tex]Volume=31.6mL[/tex]

Thus, the volume of acetone will be 31.6 mL
