Answer: The mass of benzene is 87.87 grams
Explanation:
To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}[/tex]
We are given:
Density of benzene = [tex]0.8787g/ml[/tex]
mass of benzene = ?
Volume of benzene = 0.1000L = 100ml [tex]1L=1000mL[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]0.8787g/ml=\frac{\text{Mass of benzene}}{100ml}[/tex]
Mass of benzene = 87.87g
Hence, the mass of benzene is 87.87 grams
