PROBLEM
What is the mass of 50.0 mL for each substance? (Densities: Lead 11.4 g/mL, Ethanol 0.785 g/mL, Oxygen 1.4×10−3 g/mL, Hydrogen 8.4×10−5 g/mL, Mercury 13.6 g/mL, Gold 19.3 g/mL)
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The volume of each substance is 50.0mL.
. The densities of the substances are given in g/mL.
3. The mass of each substance can be found using the formula mass=density×volume.
STEP 2
The formula to find the mass of a substance when you know the volume and density ismass=density×volume
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the volume and density of lead to calculate its mass.
masslead=11.g/mL×50.0mL
STEP 4
Calculate the mass of lead.
masslead=11.4g/mL×50.0mL=570g
STEP 5
Repeat the process for ethanol. Plug in the given values for the volume and density of ethanol to calculate its mass.
massethanol=0.785g/mL×50.0mL
STEP 6
Calculate the mass of ethanol.
massethanol=0.785g/mL×50.0mL=39.25g
STEP 7
Repeat the process for oxygen gas. Plug in the given values for the volume and density of oxygen gas to calculate its mass.
massoxygen=1.4×10−3g/mL×50.0mL
STEP 8
Calculate the mass of oxygen gas.
massoxygen=1.4×10−3g/mL×50.0mL=0.07g
STEP 9
Repeat the process for hydrogen gas. Plug in the given values for the volume and density of hydrogen gas to calculate its mass.
masshydrogen=8.4×−5g/mL×50.mL
STEP 10
Calculate the mass of hydrogen gas.
masshydrogen=8.4×10−5g/mL×50.0mL=0.0042g
STEP 11
Repeat the process for mercury. Plug in the given values for the volume and density of mercury to calculate its mass.
massmercury=13.6g/mL×50.0mL
STEP 12
Calculate the mass of mercury.
massmercury=.6g/mL×50.0mL=680g
STEP 13
Repeat the process for gold. Plug in the given values for the volume and density of gold to calculate its mass.
massgold=19.3g/mL×50.0mL
SOLUTION
Calculate the mass of gold.
massgold=19.3g/mL×50.0mL=965gThe mass of each substance that occupies a volume of 50.0mL is(a) Lead 570g
(b) Ethanol 39.25g
(c) Oxygen gas 0.07g
(d) Hydrogen gas 0.0042g
(e) Mercury 680g
(f) Gold 965g
