A graduated cylinder was used to measure out 5.3 mL of a sample of a liquid into a pre-weighed 100-mL beaker (mass of the beaker = 24.568 g) at 25oC. The total mass of the beaker and alcohol was 29.568 g. what is the actual volume transferred from the graduated cylinder to the beaker? (Density of the given sample of alcohol at 25oC is 0.874 g/cc.) show work!

1 answer

29.568 g = mass bkr and alcohol.
-24.568 g = mass empty bkr
-----------
5.000 g = mass alcohol

Then volume = mass/density.
Substitute and solve for volume in cc.
