Students have asked these similar questions
A particular beer is 6.50 % ethanol by volume (C₂H₆O). If a single bottle of beer contain 750.0 mL of beer, what mass, in g of ethanol (C₂H₆O), is present in the bottle? The density of ethanol is 0.789g ethanol/mL ethanol.
Gold can be hammered into extremely thin sheets called gold leaf. A 200-mg
piece of gold (density = 19.32 g/cm3) is hammered into a sheet measuring 2.4 ft x
1.0 ft.
%3D
What is the average thickness of the sheet in meters? Hints: Calculate the volume of the
sheet from its density and mass, and then use the volume relationship for a rectangular
solid, V = length x width x thickness.
