Chloroform is a commonly used anesthetic with a density of 1.483 g/mL. Determine the volume of chloroform needed to deliver a 9.37 g sample of the anesthetic

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.32 ml

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Mass : m = 9.37 g

Density : d= 1.483 g/mL

The density a substance is equal to the mass of the substance divided into its volume. So, we calculate the volume (V) of chloroform from the mass and density as follows:

[tex]d=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]   ⇒  [tex]V = \frac{m}{d} = \frac{9.37 g}{1.483 g/ml} = 6.32 ml[/tex]
