You synthesized a brand new liquid compound in your organic chemistry lab and determined its density to be 1.78 g/mL. How could you use this knowledge of your new compound in the future, particularly if you wanted to add 0.100 g of it to your next reaction without using a balance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The density of the organic compound can be used to measure its purity and it can also be volumetrically transferred for different chemical reactions.

0.0562 mL of the organic compound will transfer exactly 0.100 g of it.

Explanation:

The density of a compound is given by the following formula:

[tex]Density = \frac{mass(g)}{volume(mL)}[/tex]

According to the given data,

[tex]1.78= \frac{0.1}{volume(mL)}[/tex]

[tex]volume(mL)= \frac{0.1}{1.78}[/tex]

[tex]volume(mL)= 0.0562[/tex]

The above-calculated volume will transfer 0.100 g of the organic compound.
