A student obtained a clean, dry, glass-stoppered flask. He weighed the flask stopper and found the total mass to be 32.634g. He then filled the flask with water, weighed again, and obtained a mass of 59.479g. At the temperature of the water, he found that its density was 0.9973 g/mL. a.) What was the mass of the water? (show work)b.) What was the volume of the water? (Show work)c.) What was the volume of the flask? (show work)

Answer :

The mass of water is, 26.845 g

The volume of water is, 26.92 mL

The volume of flask is, 26.92 mL

Explanation : Given,

Mass of flask stopper = 32.634 g

Mass of water and flask stopper = 59.479 g

Density of water = 0.9973 g/mL

First we have to calculate the mass of water.

Mass of water = Mass of water and flask stopper - Mass of flask stopper

Mass of water = 59.479 g - 32.634 g

Mass of water = 26.845 g

Thus, the mass of water is, 26.845 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of water.

Thus, the volume of water is, 26.92 mL

Now we have to calculate the volume of flask.

Volume of flask = Volume of water = 26.92 mL

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
