Determine the volume (in ml) of 500g of carbon tetrachloride for which its specific gravity is 1.60.
To determine the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride, we need to use its specific gravity. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, usually water. In this case, the reference substance is water with a density of 1 g/ml.
To find the density of carbon tetrachloride, we can use the formula:
Density = Specific gravity x Density of water
Density = 1.60 x 1 g/ml
Density = 1.60 g/ml
Now we can find the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride using the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 500g / 1.60 g/ml
Volume = 312.5 ml
Therefore, the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride with a specific gravity of 1.60 is 312.5 ml.
To determine the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride, we need to first calculate its density using the specific gravity.
The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of the density of that substance to the density of water at a specific temperature.
The density of water at 4 degrees Celsius is approximately 1 g/mL.
To calculate the density of carbon tetrachloride, we multiply the specific gravity by the density of water:
Density of carbon tetrachloride = Specific gravity x Density of water
= 1.60 x 1 g/mL
= 1.60 g/mL
Now, we can calculate the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride using its density:
Volume = Mass / Density
= 500g / 1.60 g/mL
= 312.5 mL
Therefore, the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride is 312.5 mL.
To determine the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride, we can use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
First, let's find the density of carbon tetrachloride using its specific gravity.
Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. In this case, the specific gravity of carbon tetrachloride is given as 1.60.
Density of water = 1 g/mL
So, the density of carbon tetrachloride can be calculated using:
Density of carbon tetrachloride = Specific gravity x Density of water
Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 x 1 g/mL
Now, we can calculate the volume:
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 500g / (Density of carbon tetrachloride)
Substituting the value of the density of carbon tetrachloride calculated above, we can determine the volume:
Volume = 500g / (1.60 g/mL)
Volume = 312.5 mL
Therefore, the volume of 500g of carbon tetrachloride is 312.5 mL.
