Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.127QP
Some bottles of colorless liquids were being labeled when the technicians accidentally mixed them up and lost track of their contents. A 15.0-mL sample withdrawn from one bottle weighed 22.3 g. The technicians knew that the liquid was either acetone, benzene, chloroform, or carbon tetrachloride (which have densities of 0.792 g/cm3, 0.899 g/cm3, 1.489 g/cm3, and 1.595 g/cm3, respectively). What was the identity of the liquid?
