Royce Blevins · Answer 1

Mass of carbon tetrachloride 135.15 g.

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride = 85.0 mL or 85.0 cm³

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.59 g/cm³

Mass of carbon tetrachloride = ?

Solution:

Formula:

D=m/v

D = density

m=mass

V=volume

Now we will put the values in formula:

1.59 g/cm³ = m / 85.0 cm³

m = 1.59 g/cm³ * 85.0 cm³

m = 135.15 g
