Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

(a) To identify a liquid substance, a student determined itsdensity. Using a graduated cylinder, she measured out a 45-mLsample of the substance. She then measured the mass of thesample, finding that it weighed 38.5 g. She knew that the substancehad to be either isopropyl alcohol (density 0.785 g/mL)or toluene (density 0.866 g/mL). What are the calculated densityand the probable identity of the substance? (b) An experimentrequires 45.0 g of ethylene glycol, a liquid whose densityis 1.114 g/mL. Rather than weigh the sample on a balance, achemist chooses to dispense the liquid using a graduated cylinder.What volume of the liquid should he use?
