Attem a liquid solvent is added to a flask containing an insoluble solid. the total volume of the solid and liquid together is 91.0 ml. the liquid solvent has a mass of 26.6 g and a density of 0.865 g/ml. determine the mass of the solid given its density is 1.75 g/ml. mass: 38.852

The mass of solid is 105.4 g

Explanation:

To calculate the density of a substance, we use the equation"

      .......(1)

For liquid:

Mass of liquid = 26.6 g

Density of liquid = 0.865 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

We are given:

Volume of solid + Volume of liquid = 91.0 mL

Volume of liquid = 30.8 mL

So, volume of solid = 91.0 - 30.8 = 60.2 mL

Now, calculating the mass of solid by using equation 1, we get:

Volume of solid = 60.2 mL

Density of solid = 1.75 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the mass of solid is 105.4 grams
