What is the density of carbon tetrachloride if a flask weighing 345.8 g is filled with 225 mL of the liquid, and the total weight of the flask and liquid is 703.55 g?

  • A. 1.59 g/mL
  • B. 2.76 g/mL
  • C. 1.4 g/mL
  • D. None of the above
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the density of carbon tetrachloride, we first need to determine the weight of the liquid only. The weight of the liquid can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the empty flask from the total weight of the flask and liquid: 703.55 g - 345.8 g = 357.75 g. Now, using the volume of the liquid (225 mL) and its weight (357.75 g), we can calculate the density: Density = Mass/Volume = 357.75 g / 225 mL � 1.59 g/mL. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 1.59 g/mL.
