If 89.2 mL of a liquid has a mass of 75.2 g, calculate the liquid’s density.

0.843

L

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we have to use the formula below:

D

e

n

s

i

t

y

=

M

a

s

s

V

o

l

u

m

e

Usually, density will have units of  

g

m

L

when dealing with a liquid or units of  

g

c

m

3

when dealing with a solid.

The mass has units of grams,  

g

.

The volume can have units of  

m

L

or  

c

m

3

We are given the mass and the volume, both of which have good units. All we have to do is plug the given values into the equation:

D

=

75.2

g

89.2

Thus, the liquid has a density of 0.843 g/mL.
