Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 37E
- To identify a liquid substance, a student determined its density. Using a graduated cylinder, she measured out a 45-mL sample of the substance. She then measured the mass of the sample, finding that it weighed 38.5g. She knew that the sub-stance had to be either isopropyl alcohol (density 0.785g/mL) or toluene (density 0.866g/mL). What are the calculated density and the probable identity of the substance?
- An experiment requires 45.0 g of ethylene glycol, a liquid whose density is 1.114g/mL. Rather than weigh the sample on a balance, a chemist chooses to dispense the liquid using a graduated cylinder. What volume of the liquid should he use?
- Is a graduated cylinder such as that shown in figure 1.12 likely to afford the accuracy of measurement needed?
- A cubic piece of metal measures 5.00 cm on each edge. If the metal is nickel, whose density is 8.90g/cm3, what is the mass of the cube?
