Answer :
A chemistry student should way out 57.56 grams of pentane for the experiment he is willing to perform.
Given,
Density of pentane = 0.626 grams/ml
Volume of the pentane = 60 ml
The above data can be used to find the mass of the pentane by using the relation between density, mass and volume which is given as:
Density = mass of substance/ volume of substance
⇒ Mass of pentane = Density of pentane X Volume of pentane
Substituting the values we get,
Mass of pentane = 0.626g/ml X 60ml = 57.56 grams
Hence, to perform the experiment the chemistry student should weigh 57.56 grams of pentane.
The given question is incomplete and the complete question is given as,
A chemistry student needs 40.0 mL of pentane for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the student discovers that the density of pentane is 0.626 g cm^3. Calculate the mass of pentane the student should weigh out.
