Question

What is the density of a substance that weights 3.45 pounds and occupies a volume of 1.63 liters? Express answer in g/ml.

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 0.96 g/mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Weight of substance = 3.45 pound

Volume = 1.63 L

Density = ?

Solution:

To express the density in g/mL we will convert the mass from pound to gram and volume from L to mL.

1.63 L × 1000 mL/1 L = 1630 mL

3.45 × 454 = 1564.9 g

Formula:

d = m/v

d = 1564.9 g / 1630 mL

d = 0.96 g/mL
