Chapter U3.8, Problem 7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The volume of 6.4 g of solid carbon dioxide needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows:

  $d=\frac{m}{V}$

Here, m is mass and V is volume.

Answer to Problem 7E

4.10 mL.

Explanation of Solution

The density of solid carbon dioxide is 1.56 g/mL and mass of solid carbon dioxide is given 6.4 g thus, volume can be calculated as follows:

  $V=\frac{m}{d}$

Putting the values,

  $V=\frac{6.4\text{ g}}{1.56\text{ g/mL}}=4.10\text{ mL}$

Thus, the volume is 4.10 mL

Conclusion

Therefore, the volume of solid carbon dioxide is 4.10 mL
