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

  • A. 157.8 g
  • B. 25.49 g
  • C. 0.39 g
  • D. None of the above
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine the mass of ethyl alcohol required to fill a 200.0 mL container, we apply the formula Mass = Volume x Density. Given that the volume is 200.0 mL and the density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL, the calculation becomes Mass = 200.0 mL x 0.789 g/mL = 157.8 g. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 157.8 g, as this is the mass of ethyl alcohol needed to completely occupy the 200.0 mL container.
