    Yes, the 150-mL Erlenmeyer will be large enough to contain the acid.

    Explanation:

    As an instructor is preparing for an experiment, he requires 225 g phosphoric acid. Considering that the density of the phosphoric acid is 1.83 g/mL, we can find the volume occupied by the acid using the following expression.

    density = mass / volume

    volume = mass / density

    volume = 225 g / (1.83 g/mL)

    volume = 123 mL

    The phosphoric acid occupies 123 mL so the 150-mL Erlenmeyer will be large enough to contain it.
