These organic solvents are used to clean compact discs: Chloroform 1.492 Diethyl ether 0.714 Ethanol 0.789 Isopropanol 0.785 Toluene 0.867 (a) If a 15.00-mL sample of CD cleaner weighs 11.775 g at 20 C, which solvent is most likely to be present? (b) The chemist analyzing the cleaner calibrates her equipment and finds that the pipet is accurate to 0.02 mL, and the balance (1.07 10 4 mol/L)2(3.8 10 3 mol/L) (8.35 10 5 mol/L) (1.48 10 2 mol/L)3 (1.84 102 g) (44.7 m/s)2 2 43 4.32 107 g 43 (3.1416) (1.95 102 cm)3 1 22 1 32 (6.022 1023 molecules/mol) (1.23 102 g) 46.07 g/mol (6.626 10 34 J s) (2.9979 108 m/s) 489 10 9 m is accurate to 0.003 g. Is this equipment precise enough to distinguish between ethanol and isopropanol?
