Question

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate the mass of helium that it would take to fill the balloon.
35,000 g
1.1 x 10-3 g
2.8 x 10-5 g
1.1 g

Answer 1

To find the mass you divide multiply volume and density..

Density = 1.79 x 10^-4     Volume = 6.3

(1.79 x 10^-4 )(6.3) =  1.1 x 10^-3 g

Answer 2

To find the mass you divide multiply volume and density..

Density = 1.79 x 10^-4     Volume = 6.3

(1.79 x 10^-4 )(6.3) =  1.1 x 10^-3 g
