Answer:
3.3557047 mL
Explanation:
The density can be found using the following formula:
[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex]
Let's rearrange the formula to find the volume, [tex]v[/tex].
[tex]d*v=\frac{m}{v}*v[/tex]
[tex]d*v=m[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d*v}{d} =\frac{m}{d}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{m}{d}[/tex]
The volume can be found by dividing the mass by the density. The mass of the chloroform is 5 grams and the density is 1.49 grams per milliliter. Therefore,
[tex]m= 5g \\d= 1.49 g/mL[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]v=\frac{5g}{1.49 g/mL}[/tex]
Divide. When we divide, the grams, or g, in the numerator and denominator will cancel out.
[tex]v= \frac{5}{1.49}mL[/tex]
[tex]v=3.3557047 mL[/tex]
The volume of 5 grams of chloroform is 3.3557047 milliliters
