Question

Ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, has a density of 0.79 g/mL. What is the volume, in quarts, of 2.60 kg of this alcohol?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.49quarts

Explanation:

Mass = 2.6kg = 2600g

Density = 0.79 g/mL

Volume =?

Density = Mass / volume

Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = 2600 / 0.79

Vol = 3291.14mL = 3291.14x0.00106

Volume = 3.49quarts

Answer 2

Answer:

3.48 US Liquid quarts  or  2.90 Imperial quarts

Explanation:

So first convert the kilograms to grams. 2.6 x 1000 = 2600

Then find the volume in milliliters. 2600 ÷ 0.79 = 3291.13924051

Then convert from milliliters to quarts depending on what quart you want.

US Liquid quart = 3291.13924051 ÷ 946.353 = 3.48 quarts

Imperial quart = 3291.13924051 ÷ 1136.523 = 2.90 quarts
