What is the mass of ethyl alcohol that fills a 0.200 L container? The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL.
mass=density*volume
To find the mass of ethyl alcohol that fills a 0.200 L container, we can use the formula:
Mass = Volume x Density
First, let's convert the volume from liters (L) to milliliters (mL) because the density is given in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
So, the volume of the container in milliliters (mL) would be:
0.200 L x 1000 mL/L = 200 mL
Now, we have the volume in milliliters (mL) and the density in grams per milliliter (g/mL). We can use these values to calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol:
Mass = 200 mL x 0.789 g/mL
Multiplying these values together, we get:
Mass = 157.8 g
Therefore, the mass of ethyl alcohol that fills a 0.200 L container is 157.8 grams.
