Ethanol (USP grade) has a density of 0.810. From here we have to use the formula: d=m/v, where d is density, m, mass and v, volume. Solving for volume, we have v=m/d, therefore: v= 15/0.810 = 18.52 mL of ethanol are equivalent to 15g.

mass = volume x densitySolving for volume:

volume = mass / density

So, you basically look up the density of ethanol, then divide the mass by the density.

You have to divide the mass by density to get the volume. Mass is 15 gram. Density of alcohol is 0.789 at 20 degree Celsius. So 15/ 0.789 comes to be 19 ml.
