Question

A flask with a mass of 321.9 g is filled with 15.7 ml of carbon tetrachloride. The mass of the flask and carbon tetrachloride is found to be 523.6 g. From this information, calculate the density of carbon tetrachloride. According to this problem, the density of ccl4 is answer g/ml.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let V be the volume of flask

Since, the pressure and temperature are also same for both the gases, we will have same number of moles for each of them. Therefore, the ratio of weight will be the ratio of molecular weight of the gases.

Molecular weight of CCl

4

=154 g

Molecular weight of O

2

=32 g

Hence, the ratio comes out to be nearly 5.
