Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We know that the density of water is approximately 1 g/mL. Therefore, the weight of the flask minus the weight of the air it displaces will be approximately 125 g if it were filled with water.

88.5 g / (125 g/125 mL) = 0.708 mL

We then convert mL to L by dividing by 1000.

0.708 mL / 1000 = 0.000708 L which is equivalent to 0.125 L (rounded to three significant figures).
