What is the mass of ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200.0 mL container?

  • A. 157.8 g
  • B. 253.49 g
  • C. 0.0039 g
  • D. None of the above
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine the mass of ethyl alcohol that fills a 200.0 mL container, we use the formula: Mass = Volume x Density. Given that the density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL, multiplying the volume (200.0 mL) by the density gives us 200.0 mL x 0.789 g/mL = 157.8 g. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 157.8 g, representing the mass of ethyl alcohol that exactly fills the 200.0 mL container.
