A chemist needs 2.00 grams of a liquid compound with a density of 0.785 g/cm^3 density. what volume of compund is required?
.785 v = 2
v = (2/.785) cm^3
To find the volume of the compound required, we can use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
Given:
Mass = 2.00 grams
Density = 0.785 g/cm^3
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
Volume = 2.00 grams / 0.785 g/cm^3
To solve this, divide the mass (2.00 grams) by the density (0.785 g/cm^3). The units of "grams" in the numerator will cancel out with "grams" in the denominator, and we will be left with the unit of volume, which is "cm^3".
Calculating:
Volume = 2.00 / 0.785 = 2.55 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of compound required is 2.55 cm^3.
