Answer:

0.8037 g/mL is the density of ethanol.

Explanation:

The mass of the water is m = 158 g.

The volume of water in the flask is V.

The density of water is d = 1.00 g/mL.

$\density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$1.00 g/mL=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{158 g}{V}$

$V = 158.00 mL$

In this case, the ethanol mass held by the flask is M = 127 g.

The volume of the flask measures V = 158.00 mL.

The density of ethanol is D.

$D=\frac{M}{V}=\frac{127 g}{158.00 mL}=0.8037 g/mL$

0.8037 g/mL is the density of ethanol.

Answer:

Explanation:

The density of water is known to be 1 g/ml, indicating that 158 g of water occupies a volume of 158 ml.

d = m/v = 258/258 = 1 g/ml

This implies the volume will remain the same for ethanol.

hence, the density of ethanol = 127/158 = 0.80 g/ml
