Chapter 3, Problem 3.42QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The volume of the $\text{1}\text{.00}\text{mol}$ of benzene $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\right)$ at $\text{20}\text{°C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The mole is the unit specially discovered for the atoms or molecules due to extreme small size and large numbers. One mole is defined as the amount of the substance which contains exactly the same number of particles as in $12\text{g}$ of carbon-12 isotope. One mole of anything consists of $N_{\text{A}}$ number of things. This number is known as Avogadro number $\left(N_{\text{A}}\right)$ and is numerically equal to $6.023\times {10}^{23}$. The volume of the compound is calculated by the mass and density relationship.

To determine: The volume of the $\text{1}\text{.00}\text{mol}$ of $\text{benzene}$ $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\right)$ at $\text{20}\text{°C}$.
