Question

A certain liquid has a density of 0.855g/mL. If the mass of a sample of the liquid 1.00kg its the volume in mL? (Don’t forget to convert kg to grams before solving!) Use significant figures for your answer

Answer 1

As per the statement: A certain liquid has a density of 0.855 g/mL. If the mass of a sample of the liquid 1.00 kg.

Use conversion:

1 kg = 1000 gm

then;

Density of liquid = 0.855 g/mL

Mass of a liquid = 1 kg = 1000 g.

Using formula of volume :

`\text{Volume}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}`

Substitute the given values we have;

`\text{Volume} = (1000)/(0.855) = 1169.59064 ml`

therefore, volume in mL =
`1.16959064 * 10^(8)`
