Answer:
weight of 1 cubic feet CCl4 = ?
Specific gravity = 1.59
mass density= mass of the fluid/ volume
Mass
Carbon tetrachloride comprises of one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms. The molar mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol. The molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 g/mol. The molar mass of carbon tetrachloride is 153.81 grams per mole.
mass of CCl4= 0.154 Kg/mole
Volume = 1 cubic feet=0.0283 cubic metre
mass density= 0.154/0.0283= 5.442 Kg/m^3
weight density = mass density * acceleration due to gravity
=5.442 * 9.8
=53.33 N/m^3
The weight of 1 ft^3 of CCl4 is 53.33 N/m^3
