30.ml of carbon tetrachloride (density=1.595g/ml)is added to a graduated cylinder that weighs 47.98 g. what will be the weight of the cylinder plus the carbon tetrachloride?
mass cylinder = 47.98g
mass CCl4 = volume x density.
Total = mass cyl + mass CCl4.
To find the weight of the cylinder plus the carbon tetrachloride, we need to calculate the weight of the carbon tetrachloride first and then add it to the initial weight of the cylinder.
Step 1: Calculate the weight of the carbon tetrachloride.
Given that the volume of carbon tetrachloride is 30 ml and the density is 1.595 g/ml, we can use the formula:
Weight = Volume x Density
Weight = 30 ml x 1.595 g/ml
Weight = 47.85 g
Step 2: Add the weight of the carbon tetrachloride to the initial weight of the cylinder.
Initial weight of the cylinder = 47.98 g
Weight of the carbon tetrachloride = 47.85 g
Total weight = Initial weight of the cylinder + Weight of the carbon tetrachloride
Total weight = 47.98 g + 47.85 g
Total weight = 95.83 g
Therefore, the weight of the cylinder plus the carbon tetrachloride will be 95.83 grams.
