Calculate the Density of Gasoline

What is the process to calculate the density of gasoline given the weight of the flask and the volume of the gasoline sample?

Calculating Density of Gasoline:

Density:

Given values:

  • Flask's weight = 110.525 g
  • Volume = 50 mL

Now, the total mass of Gasoline and Flask's weight = 146.770 g.

To find the weight of Gasoline, we subtract the weight of the flask and stopper from the total mass.

Weight of Gasoline = 146.770 g - 110.525 g = 36.245 g

Therefore, the density of gasoline can be calculated by dividing the weight of gasoline by its volume.

Density = Weight / Volume

By substituting the values, we get:

Density = 36.245 g / 50 mL = 0.725 g/mL

Thus, the density of the gasoline sample is 0.725 g/mL.
