A 0 mL sample of glycerol has a mass of 2 grams. What is the mass of a 57-mL sample of glycerol?

  • A. 8.8 g
  • B. 45 g
  • C. 2.9 104 g
  • D. 72 g
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the mass of a 57-mL sample of glycerol, we use the given mass-to-volume ratio. Since 0 mL has a mass of 2 grams, the mass-to-volume ratio is 2g/0mL = 2g/mL. Therefore, for a 57-mL sample, we multiply 2g/mL by 57 mL to get 114 grams, which corresponds to answer choice B.

Choice A (8.8 g) is incorrect because it does not align with the calculated mass of 114 g for a 57-mL sample. Choices C (2.9 104 g) and D (72 g) are also incorrect as they are not consistent with the mass-to-volume ratio of 2g/mL provided in the question.
