Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Density of the Unknown Liquid
To calculate the density of the unknown liquid, we use the formula:
$$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$$
Given that the mass of the unknown liquid is 478 g and the volume is 677 cm^3,
the calculated density is 0.706 g/cm^3 after rounding to 3 decimal places.
Step 2: Compare the Calculated Density with Known Densities
We compare the calculated density with the known densities of possible liquids.
The calculated density closely matches the density of diethylamine, with a difference of 0.004 g/cm^3.
Final Answer:
The unknown liquid is likely diethylamine, based on its density.
