Question

IF A LIQUID WEIGHS 2 POUNDS AND HAS A CApacity of 3 gallons. what is its density

Answer 1

Answer:

0.08 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

• Mass of the liquid = 2 pounds

But; 1 pound = 453.592 g

Therefore, mass = 907.184 g

• Volume of the liquid = 3 gallons

But; 1 gallon = 3785.41 cm³

Thus, volume = 11356.23 cm³

We are required to determine the density of the liquid;

We need to know that;

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Therefore;

density of the liquid = 907.184 g ÷ 11356.23 cm³

                                 = 0.0799 g/cm³

                                = 0.08 g/cm³

Thus, the volume of the liquid is 0.08 g/cm³
