To determine the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride, we need to use its specific gravity. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, usually water. In this case, the reference substance is water with a density of 1 g/ml.
To find the density of carbon tetrachloride, we can use the formula:
Density = Specific gravity x Density of water
Density = 1.60 x 1 g/ml
Density = 1.60 g/ml
Now we can find the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride using the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 500g / 1.60 g/ml
Volume = 312.5 ml
Therefore, the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride with a specific gravity of 1.60 is 312.5 ml.
Determine the volume (in ml) of 500g of carbon tetrachloride for which its specific gravity is 1.60.
