Question:
Carbon tetrachloride is an organic compound known with thechemical formula CCl4. It is also
known by many names such as tetrachloromethane by the IUPAC, carbontetrachloride in the cleaning industry,
Halon104 in fire fighting, and Refrigerant-10 in HVACR. CCl4 wasformerly widely used in fire
extinguishers, as a precursor to refrigerants and as a cleaningagent. It is a colourless liquid with a
sweet smell that can be detected at low levels. It has practicallyno flammability at low temperatures.
A Scientist, decided to identify the fluid properties ofthe above
mentioned liquid. In the laboratory, complying with all safetyprotocols, he weighed a 40 L sample of
carbon tetrachloride and obtained a mass of 63.60 kg. As hisclassmate, it is your task to help him
compute the following quantities:
(a) density (in g/cm^3 );
(b) specific weight (in kN/m^3 );
(c) specific volume (in cm^3 /g);
and (d) specific gravity.
