Some bottles of colourless liquids were being labelled when the technicians accidentally mixed them up and lost track of their contents. A

15.0 \mathrm{~ml}

sample withdrawn from one bottle weighed

22.3 \mathrm{~g}.

The technicians knew that the liquid was either acetone, benzene, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride (which have densities of

0.792 \mathrm{~g} /\mathrm{cm}^3, 0.899 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3, 1.489 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3

, and

1.595 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3

, respectively). What was the identity of the liquid?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Chloroform

Option C (Chloroform) is correct because the calculated density of the liquid matches the density of chloroform.
