(a) A sample of tetrachloroethylene, a liquid used in dry cleaningthat is being phased out because of its potential to cause cancer,has a mass of 40.55 g and a volume of 25.0 mL at 25 °C. Whatis its density at this temperature? Will tetrachloroethylene floaton water? (Materials that are less dense than water will float.)(b) Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas at room temperature andpressure. However, carbon dioxide can be put under pressure tobecome a “supercritical fluid” that is a much safer dry-cleaningagent than tetrachloroethylene. At a certain pressure, the densityof supercritical CO2 is 0.469 g/cm3. What is the mass of a25.0-mL sample of supercritical CO2 at this pressure?
