Answer: E. 300 mg
Explanation:
To calculate the mass of benzene , we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}[/tex]
Given : Density of benzene = [tex]0.8765 g/cm^3[/tex]
Volume of benzene = [tex]0.342ml=0.342cm^3[/tex] [tex]1cm^3=1ml[/tex]
mass of benzene = ?
Putting in the values we get :
[tex]0.8765 g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of benzene}}{0.342cm^3}[/tex]
[tex]{\text{Mass of benzene}}=0.300g=300mg[/tex] (1g=1000mg)
Thus the mass in mg of benzene is 300 if the volume is 0.342 mL
