Question

An empty beaker weighs 42.75 grams. When completely filled with water, the beaker and its contents have a total mass of 399.95 grams. What volume does the beaker hold Use d=1.00 g/ml as the density of water.

Answer 1

399.95 = mass empty beaker + H2O
-42.75 = mass empty beaker
-----------
357.2 = mass H2O
volume H2O = mass/density = (357.2/1.00) = ?

Answer 2

357.15
