Question

Liquid heptane (which has a density of 684 mg/ 1.0 mL) and liquid water (which has a density of 1.0 g/ 1.0 mL) do not mix.  A tall cylinder with an inside diameter of 3.30 cm contains both 13.5 g of heptane and 10.5 g of water.  What is the total volume (in milliliters) of the two liquid layers inside the cylinder?  Round the magnitude (numerical value) of the answer to 3 digits.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: 

Liquid heptane mass = 13.5 g

Liquid water mass = 10.5 g

Density of liquid heptane = 684 mg/ 1.0 mL  or 0.684 g/ 1.0 mL

Density of liquid water = 1.0 g/ 1.0 mL

Cylinder's diameter = 3.30 cm
