Question

An oil has a density of .78g/ml and a mass of 3.6kg. what is the volume of the oil?

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 4.62 L

Explanation:

Necessary Conversion:

1000 g = 1 kg

Density of Oil in kg/mL:

0.78g/ml * (1 kg/1000 mL) = 0.00078 kg/mL

Density Equation (Heart with an arrow through it):

d = m/v

Rewrite to Find Volume (Multiply Both Sides by v/d):

v = m/d

Substitue m and d to Find v:

v = (3.6 kg)/(0.00078 kg/mL)

v = 4615.38 mL

Convert to More Suitable Units (Liters) by Dividing by 1000:

v = 4.62 L
