* Density is an intrinsic property: Density is a characteristic of a substance itself. It's defined as mass per unit volume (g/mL or g/cm³). You measure the density of a pure substance directly, not by dissolving it in a solvent.
* Benzophenone is a solid: Benzophenone is a white crystalline solid at room temperature. Dissolving it would change its state and make density measurement irrelevant.
How to measure the density of benzophenone:
1. Weigh a known volume: You would use a balance to determine the mass of a specific volume of benzophenone (e.g., using a graduated cylinder or a volumetric flask).
2. Calculate density: Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
Important Note: You might use a solvent to *purify* benzophenone before measuring its density. However, the density measurement would be done on the pure, solid benzophenone, not the solution.
