Question

Calculate the density of sulfuric acid if 50. mL of the acid weighs (mass) 144. g.

a
b. 3.6 g/mL
b
d. 1.8 g/mL
c
a. 4.8 g/mL
d
b. 2.0 g/mL

Answer 1

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

From the question we have

mass = 144 g

volume = 50 ml

We have

$density = \frac{144}{50} \\ = 2.88$

We have the final answer as

2.88 g/mL
