Chapter 1, Problem 38E
a. After the label fell off a bottle containing a clear liquid believed to be benzene, a chemist measured the density of the liquid to verify its identity. A 25.0-mL portion of the liquid had a mass of 21.95 g. A chemistry handbook lists the density of benzene at15 -C as
0.8787 g/ml. Is the calculated density in agreement with the tabulated value?
b An experiment requires 15 0 g of cyclohexane. whose density at 25 °C is 0.7781 g/ml. What volume of cyclohexane should be used?
c. A spherical ball of lead has a diameter of 5.0 cm. What is the mass of the sphere if lead has a
density of 11.34 g/cm3? (The volume of a sphere is (4 /3) 
r3, where r is the radius.)
