How would you do this problem

A flask weighs 95 g when empty. When filled with 200 mL of a certain liquid, the weight is 328 g. What volume (in milliliters) would 1,000 g of the liquid occupy?

Please explain how to solve this problem.

The answer is 858.4ml. Working to follow:

Okay so I assume you're working with the equation Density = mass/volume yes?

Okay so you have enough information to work out the density of the liquid: So 200ml of the liquid weighs 233g correct? (i.e. 328g minus the weight of the beaker). So you would do mass/volume = 233/200 = 1.165.

So you have the density of that liquid now: 1.165.

You can now find the volume that 1000g of that liquid would occupy:

Volume = mass/density = 1000g/1.165 = 858.4ml

I believe it just a proportion problem.

So 200ml/328g = x/1,000g

x=609.7

328g-95g Is mass of liquid

Divide that by200 ml to find its density

Then use that density to calculate volume.
