An empty erlenmeyer flask weighs 241.3 g. when filled with water (d = 1.00 g/cm3), the flask and its contents weigh 489.1 g. what is the flask's volume? how much does the flask weigh when filled with chloroform (d = 1.48 g/cm3)?

The volume of the flask would simply be equal to the volume of the water. And the mass of the water would be the difference after and before weigh.

mass of water = 489.1 g – 241.3 g

mass of water = 247.8 g

Therefore the volume of water (which is also the volume of the flask) is:

volume = 247.8 g / (1.00 g/cm^3)

volume = 247.8 cm^3

The total mass of the flash when filled with chloroform would be:

total mass with chloroform = 241.3 g + 247.8 cm^3 (1.48 g/cm3)

total mass with chloroform = 608.04 g

Answers:

volume = 247.8 cm^3

total mass with chloroform = 608.04 g

the answer is 0.8m.
