The liquid 1-hexanol has a density of 0.814 g/mL at 20 °C. If a 105 gram sample of this compound is needed, what volume of the liquid at 20 °C must be provided?
mass = volume x density
Substitute and solve for volume.
To find the volume of liquid 1-hexanol needed, we need to use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
Given:
Mass = 105 grams
Density = 0.814 g/mL
Now, substitute the given values into the formula:
Volume = 105 grams / 0.814 g/mL
Divide the mass by the density:
Volume = 129.13 mL
So, a volume of 129.13 mL of liquid 1-hexanol at 20 °C must be provided.
