Question

A liquid in the lab has a density of 1.17 g/cm^3. What is thw volume in liters of 3.02 kg of the liquid?

Answer 1

Given

Density of a liquid = 1.17 g / cm ³

Mass of a liquid = 3.02 kg

Volume of a liquid = ?

We have relation, density = Mass / volume

On rearranging above relation, we get Volume = Mass / density

We have relation, 1 kg = 1000 g.

1 kg / 1000 g = 1 = 1000 g / 1 kg

We have relation , 1 L = 1000 cm ³

1 L / 1000 cm ³ = 1 = 1000 cm ³ / 1 L

Volume of a liquid = ( 3.02 kg / 1.17 g / cm ³ ) ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) (  1 L / 1000 cm ³ )

Volume of a liquid = 2.58 L

ANSWER : Volume of a liquid = 2.58 L
