The density of a pure substance is its mass per unit volume. The density of cresol has been measured to be 1024 g/L . Calculate the mass of 405mL of cresol.



Answer :

Answer: The mass of 405 ml of cresol is 415 grams

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Given : Density of cresol = 1024 g/L

Volume of cresol = 405 ml = 0.405 L   ( 1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]1024g/L=\frac{mass}{0.405L}[/tex]

[tex]mass=1024g/L\times 0.405L=415g[/tex]

Thus mass of 405 ml of cresol is 415 grams
