Interpretation:
Whether the combination of cork and lead will sink or float is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Volume is an important physical quantity in chemistry that is measured by the SI unit called cubic meter
It is defined as the quantity of space occupied by a cube with edge length of
The density of any object is obtained when the mass of object in grams is divided by volume of an object in milliliters. So it is denoted by unit: gram per milliliter.
Density is directly associated to the mass of an object. The higher the mass of the substance higher will be its density. Density is inversely associated to the volume of a substance. The lower the volume of the substance higher will be its density.
Density is associated to how the particles are packed in a substance, which in turn determines its state. The state of a substance defines the density.

- Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forward1.87 A solution of ethanol in water has a volume of 54.2 mL and a mass of 49.6 g. what information would you need to look up and how would you determine the percentage of ethanol in this solution?arrow_forwardDensity of an aqueous solution of nitric acid is 1.43 g/mL.
