Carbon tetrachloride is an organic compound known with the chemical formula CC14. It is also known by many names such as tetrachloromethane by the IUPAC, carbon tet in the cleaning industry, Halon 104 in fire fighting, and Refrigerant-10 in HVACR. CCI4 was formerly widely used in fire extinguishers, as a precursor to refrigerants and as a cleaning agent. It is a colourless liquid with a sweet smell that can be detected at low levels. It has practically no flammability at low temperatures. Michael Lobarbio, a very curious student, decided to determine the fluid properties of the abovementioned liquid. In the laboratory, complying with all safety protocols, he weighed a 40 L sample of carbon tetrachloride and obtained a mass of 63.60 kg. As his classmate, it is your task to help him compute the following quantities: (a) density (in g/cm3 ); (b) specific weight (in kN/m3 ); (c) specific volume (in cm3 /g); and (d) specific gravity.
