Question

Carbon tetachloride ,CCl4 was a popular dry cleaning agent until it was shown to be carcinogenic.It has a density of 1.589g/cm^3. what volume of carbon tetachlroide will contain a total of 6.00x10^25 molecules of CCl4?

Answer 1

$Density, D=mass/volume.$

$Mass=number of molecules/6.023*10^23$

Mass=6.00*10^25/6.023*10^23=99.62g

Therefore,99.62/volume, x=1.589g/cm3

Volume =99.62g/1.589g/cm3

Volume =62.70 cm3
