A pycnometer is a glass apparatus used for accurately determining the density of a liquid. When dry and empty, a certain pycnometer had a mass of 27.234 g. When filled with distilled water at 25.0°C, it weighed 36.491 g. When filled with chloroform (a liquid once used as an anesthetic before its toxic properties were known), the apparatus weighed 40.946 g. At 25.0°C, the density of water is 0.99704 g/mL (a) What is the volume of the pycnometer? i ! mL (b) What is the density of chloroform? ! g/mL

A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she used the ideas just developed in class about density. She measured the mass of the metal to be 197 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 17.2 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal.
The concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), a common air pollutant, is found in a room to be 5.7 x 10-3 mg/cm3. How many grams of CO are present in the room if the room's dimensions measure 3.5m x 3.0m x 3.2m?
The shattered glass case at the scene of a jewelry store robbery was determined to be made of potash borosilicate glass, which has a density of 2.162g/mL. A 4.034g glass fragment was recovered from a suspect's clothing. When the fragment was placed into a graduated cylinder filled with water, 1.63mL of the water was displaced. Calculate the density of the glass fragment.
A student wishes to determine the density of a solution of lithium hydroxide. He finds the mass of the flask to be 27.532 g. When he fills the flask with water at 22℃ (d= 1.00 g/mL), its mass is 37.441 g. He finds that the mass of the flask filled with lithium hydroxide solution is 38.138 g. What is the density of the lithium hydroxide solution?
A chemistry student needs 90.0g of carbon tetrachloride for an experiment. The density of carbon tetrachloride is 1.59g•cm^3. Calculate the volume of carbon tetrachloride the student should pour out. Round your answer to 3 sig figs.
Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density (0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A 100-mL graduated cylinder with an inside diameter of 3.00 cm contains 29.7 g of heptane and 36.4 g of water. What is the combined height of the two liquid layers in the cylinder in cm? The volume of a cylinder is π r2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

A particular flask has a mass of 17.4916 g when empty. When filled with ordinary water at 20.0°C (density = 0.9982 g/mL), the mass of the flask is now 43.9616 g. The density of so-called "heavy water" at 20.0°C is 1.1053 g/mL. What will the mass of the flask be when filled with heavy water at 20.0°C?
