Capitolo 1, Problema 69b

Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) has a density of 1.11 g/cm3. a. What is the mass in g of 417 mL of ethylene glycol? b. What is the volume in L of 4.1 kg of ethylene glycol?

Step 1: Understand the relationship between mass, volume, and density. The formula to use is: \( \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \).
Step 2: For part (a), rearrange the formula to find mass: \( \text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} \).
Step 3: Convert the volume from mL to cm³ for part (a), knowing that 1 mL = 1 cm³. Therefore, 417 mL = 417 cm³.
Step 4: Substitute the given values into the formula for part (a): \( \text{Mass} = 1.11 \text{ g/cm}^3 \times 417 \text{ cm}^3 \).
Step 5: For part (b), rearrange the formula to find volume: \( \text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} \). Convert the mass from kg to g, knowing that 1 kg = 1000 g, so 4.1 kg = 4100 g. Then, substitute the values into the formula: \( \text{Volume} = \frac{4100 \text{ g}}{1.11 \text{ g/cm}^3} \). Convert the result from cm³ to L, knowing that 1000 cm³ = 1 L.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Density

Density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume, typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per liter (kg/L). It is a crucial property that helps in determining how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance. In this question, the density of ethylene glycol is used to calculate the mass from volume and vice versa.

Density Concepts

Mass-Volume Relationship

The mass-volume relationship is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes how mass and volume are interrelated through density. The formula used is mass = density × volume. This relationship allows for the conversion between mass and volume when the density of a substance is known, which is essential for solving the parts of the question regarding ethylene glycol.
