26.0 g of a liquid that has a density of 1.44 g/mL needs to be measured out in a graduated cylinder. what volume should be used

Respuesta :

As Density = Mass/Volume
Mass = 26.0g 
Density = 1.44g/mL
Therefore Volume = Mass/Density
=> Volume = 26.0/1.44 = 18.055... = 18.1mL (to 3 sig figs)

Answer: The volume of liquid used will be 18.055 mL.

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of liquid, we use the equation for density which is:

[tex]\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}[/tex]

We are given:

Mass of the liquid = 26 g

Density of the liquid = 1.44 g/mL

Volume of the liquid = ? mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1.44g/mL=\frac{26g}{\text{Volume of the liquid}}\\\\\text{Volume of the liquid}=18.055mL[/tex]

Hence, the volume of liquid used will be 18.055 mL.
