Answer:
solid density = 3.85 g/mL
Explanation:
First we calculate the mass of the benzene:
benzene mass = 63.29 - 25 = 38.29 g
We know that density = mass / volume
So the volume of benzene will be:
volume = mass / density
volume = 38.29 / 0.880 = 43.51 cm³ = 43.51 mL of benzene (1 cm³ = 1 mL)
Now the volume of the sample will be:
sample volume = 50 - 43.51 = 6.49 mL
Now we can calculate the density of the solid:
density = mass / volume
solid density = 25 / 6.49 = 3.85 g/mL
