Question

Ice has a density of 0.92 g/cm3. What is the volume of 100 grams of ice? If the ice completely melted, what would the volume of the water be? (The density of water is 1.00 g/ml).

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the volume of the water, we would need to use the density formula. The density formula is d = m/V.

In this formula, d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.

1. To find the volume of 100 grams of ice, we substitute the appropriate values into the formula and solve for the volume using basic algebra.

0.92g/cm³ = 100g/V (multiply both sides by V)

0.92g/cm³ · V = 100g (divide both sides by 0.92g/cm³)

V = 108.69 cm³.

The volume of 100 grams of ice is about 108.69 cm³.

2. To find the volume of the completely melted ice, we would use the same formula, but the density is now 1.00 g/mL.

1.00g/mL = 100g/V (multiply both sides by V)

1.00g/mL · V = 100g (divide both sides by 1.00g/mL)

V = 100 mL

Therefore, the volume of the melted ice is 100 mL.

Final answers:

1. 108.69 g/cm³
2. 100 mL
