(a) A sample of tetrachloroethylene, a liquid used in dry cleaningthat is being phased out because of its potential to cause cancer,has a mass of 40.55 g and a volume of 25.0 mL at 25 °C. Whatis its density at this temperature? Will tetrachloroethylene floaton water? (Materials that are less dense than water will float.)(b) Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas at room temperature andpressure. However, carbon dioxide can be put under pressure tobecome a “supercritical fluid” that is a much safer dry-cleaningagent than tetrachloroethylene. At a certain pressure, the densityof supercritical CO2 is 0.469 g/cm3. What is the mass of a25.0-mL sample of supercritical CO2 at this pressure?
An empty vial weighs 55.32 g. (a) If the vial weighs 185.56 gwhen filled with liquid mercury (d=13.53 g/cm³), what is itsvolume? (b) How much would the vial weigh if it were filledwith water (d=0.997 g/cm³ at 25C)?
Pheromones are compounds secreted by females of manyinsect species to attract mates. Typically, 1.0 × 10−8gof a pheromone is sufficient to reach all targeted maleswithin a radius of 0.50 mi. Calculate the density of thepheromone (in grams per liter) in a cylindrical air spacehaving a radius of 0.50 mi and a height of 40 ft (volumeof a cylinder of radius r and height h is πr2h).
