Question

an unknown weighs 12.924 grams. this unknown Is put into a 100.00 ml flask that weighs 35.9325 grams and then water is added to the calibration mark. the unknown, the flask, and the added water weigh 140.8321g. what is the density of the unknown assuming that the density of the water is 0.998203 g /ml an unknown weighs 12.924 grams. this unknown Is put into a 100.00 ml flask that weighs 35.9325 grams and then water is added to the calibration mark. the unknown, the flask, and the added water weigh 140.8321g. what is the density of the unknown assuming that the density of the water is 0.998203 g /ml

Explanation / Answer

Mass of empty flask + Mass of unknown + Mass of water = 140.8321g

35.9325 + 12.924 + Mass of water = 140.8321

Mass of water = 140.8321 - 35.9325 - 12.924 = 91.9756 grams

Density of Water = Mass of water/Volume of water

Volume of water = Mass of water/Density of water = 91.9756/0.998203 = 92.1411 mL

Total volume of flask = volume of water + Volume of unknown

100 = 92.1411 + Volume of unknown

Volume of unknown = 7.8588 mL

Density of unknown = Mass of unknown/Volume of unknown = 12.924/7.8588 = 1.6445 g/mL or 1.6445 g/cm^3
