10.0mL of a pure liquid substance has a mass of 25.0 g. What is the mass of 3.00 L of the substance?
To find the mass of 3.00 L of the substance, we can use the given information about the density of the substance.
Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so we can use the density formula to find the mass:
Density = Mass / Volume
We are given that the mass of 10.0 mL of the substance is 25.0 g. We need to convert this to grams per liter (g/L) since the volume is given in liters.
First, let's convert 10.0 mL to liters:
10.0 mL = 10.0 mL * (1 L / 1000 mL) = 0.010 L
Next, we can use the density formula to find the density:
Density = Mass / Volume
25.0 g = Mass / 0.010 L
Now, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the mass:
Mass = Density * Volume
Mass = 25.0 g/0.010 L * 3.00 L
Mass = 25.0 g/0.010 L *3.00 L
Mass = 25.0 g/0.010 L * 3.00 L = 750 g
Therefore, the mass of 3.00 L of the substance is 750 g.
