12.5g mass of the vinegar sample and the density of vinegar is 1.05g/mL determine the volume of the vinegar sample in liters?
mass = volume x density
You know mass and density, substitute and solve for volume in mL. Convert to L.
To determine the volume of the vinegar sample in liters, you need to use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
Given:
Mass of the vinegar sample = 12.5g
Density of vinegar = 1.05g/mL
First, convert the mass of the vinegar sample to grams:
12.5g
Then, use the formula to calculate the volume:
Volume = 12.5g / 1.05g/mL
Now, since the density is given in grams per milliliter (g/mL), the resulting volume will be in milliliters (mL).
To convert milliliters to liters, divide the volume by 1000:
Volume (in liters) = (12.5g / 1.05g/mL) / 1000
Simplifying the equation:
Volume (in liters) = 12.5 / 1.05 / 1000
Calculating the result:
Volume (in liters) ≈ 0.0119 liters
Therefore, the volume of the vinegar sample is approximately 0.0119 liters.
