@ curiouscat : might it be that you did confuse density and volume here?

due to my charts ( i.e. CRC Handbook of chemistry and physics) the density of acetone is ~ 0.79 g/cm³ at 20°C

hence, 6.74 g of aceton would result in ~ 8.53 mL of volume under those conditions

No. And don't give final answers, regardless of whether they are right, or wrong.

Congrats to both of you for doing OP homework. Sigh.

Well, like Borek: said, cut that out.  Its September, and lots of kiddies have just gotten chemistry course books and internet access.  What we have to do, on this forum, is politely and constructively push them to this forums purpose: carefully worked out chemistry problems, that benefit everybody who's browsing the forum. 

Seriously curiouscat:, what if the O.P. was depending on the answer for some sort of procedure, and the wrong answer caused them to be hurt?  No, seriously, really, caused an actual injury requiring medical attention?  I can hear the peanut gallery going, "Serves 'em right" but anyone who isn't 8 years old should know that municipalities, courts, law enforcement, just basic human culture is actually against hurting the lazy.  It would be interesting if that weren't the case, but we don't live in that sort of world.
