Question

What is the volume, in milliliters, of 6.52 g of acetone?

Answer 1

The mass of acetone is 6.52 g and its density is 0.791 g/mL.

The density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. It is mathematically written as:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

Rearranging above equation,

$V=\frac{m}{d}$

Putting the values,

$V=\frac{6.52 g}{0.791 g/mL}=8.24 mL$

Therefore, volume of acetone will be 8.24 mL.
