An organic solvent has a density of 1.31g/ml. what volume is occupied by 50.0g of the liquid?

             38.16 mL

Solution:

Data Given;

                   Density  =  1.31 g/mL

                   Mass  =  50 g  

                   Volume  =  ?

Formula Used;

                   Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Volume,

                   Volume  =  Mass ÷ Density  

Putting values,

                   Volume  =  50 g ÷ 1.31 g.mL⁻¹

                   Volume =  38.16 mL

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error
