Answer: The density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL
Explanation : Given,
Volume = 40.5 mL
Mass of cylinder = 85.16 g
Mass of cylinder and liquid = 145.10 g
First we have to calculate the mass of liquid (chloroform).
Mass of liquid = Mass of cylinder and liquid - Mass of cylinder
Mass of liquid = 145.10 g - 85.6 g
Mass of liquid = 59.5 g
Now we have to calculate the density of liquid (chloroform).
Formula used:
[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]
Now putting g all the given values in this formula, we get:
[tex]Density=\frac{59.5g}{40.5mL}[/tex]
[tex]Density=1.47g/mL[/tex]
Therefore, the density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL
