Question

The density of sulfuric acid is 1.84 g/mL. What volume of this acid will weigh 171 g?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

The density of Sulfuric acid is$1.84\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{mL}$

Weight = $171\mathrm{g}$

With this, the density of substances can be determined by the ratio of the mass m, and the volume v, or

Step 2: Formula used

Matter: Each substance has a certain mass and occupies a known volume.

The relationship is expressed as density $\mathrm{\rho }=\frac{\mathrm{Mass}}{\mathrm{volume}}$

Hence Volume = $\frac{\mathrm{Mass}}{\mathrm{\rho }}$

Step 3: Calculating volume from the above formula

Volume= $\frac{171\cdot \mathrm{g}}{1.84\mathrm{g}{\mathrm{mL}}^{-1}}$

Volume = $92.93\mathrm{mL}$

$92.93\mathrm{mL}$ of sulfuric acid will weigh 171 g.
