The mass of an empty flask is 49.74 g. Filled with 120 cm 3 of acetone, the mass of the flask is found to be 144.78 g. What is the density of acetone?

0.79g/cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of acetone = 120cm³

Mass of empty flask  = 49.74g

Mass of flask + acetone  = 144.78g

Unknown:

Density of acetone = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per given volume of a substance. It is mathematically expressed as;

   Density  =  

     Mass of acetone  =( mass of flask + acetone)   - mass of empty flask

     Mass of acetone = 144.78  - 49.74  = 95.04g

Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Density  =   = 0.79g/cm³
