Answer:
The volume that a mass of 47.2 g would occupy is 0.0334 L
Explanation:
Density is the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space. Density is defined as the amount of mass it has per unit volume, that is, the ratio between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:
[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
This indicates that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.
In this case:
Replacing:
[tex]1.413 \frac{g}{mL}=\frac{47.2 g}{volume}[/tex]
Solving:
[tex]volume=\frac{47.2 g}{1.413\frac{g}{mL} }[/tex]
volume=33.40 mL
Being 1,000 mL= 1 L:
volume= 0.0334 L
The volume that a mass of 47.2 g would occupy is 0.0334 L
