Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the density of the unknown liquid

To find the density of the unknown liquid, we use the formula: \[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \] Given:

  • Mass = 1.30 kg = 1300 g (since 1 kg = 1000 g)
  • Volume = 1645 cm\(^3\) = 1645 mL (since 1 cm\(^3\) = 1 mL)

Substituting the values: \[ \text{Density} = \frac{1300 \, \text{g}}{1645 \, \text{mL}} \approx 0.7902 \, \text{g/mL} \]

Step 2: Determine if it is possible to identify the liquid

We compare the calculated density with the given densities of the substances:

  • Methyl acetate: \(0.93 \, \text{g/mL}\)
  • Pentane: \(0.63 \, \text{g/mL}\)
  • Glycerol: \(1.3 \, \text{g/mL}\)

The calculated density \(0.7902 \, \text{g/mL}\) does not match any of the given densities exactly.

Step 3: Conclusion on identifying the liquid

Since the calculated density does not match any of the given densities, it is not possible to identify the liquid based on the provided data.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Density} = 0.790 \, \text{g/mL}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{No, it is not possible to identify the liquid}} \]
