Question

I need help with my chemistry homework. SHOW WORK

Answer 1

d=density, m=mass, v=volume

1. 17.2kg=17200g

so knowing that d=m/V, use V=m/d to calculate the volume

v=17200/5.75

and then devide by 1000 to convert cm3 to dm3 and the answer will be in dm3

2. d=m/v

v=0.5l

m=425g

so use the formula and you will get d=425/0.5=850g/l

3. use d=m/v again, but not before rewriting the formula for volume: m=vd and  convert dm3 to cm3

1dm3=1000cm3

so 0.987dm3 =987 cm3

now m=987cm3 * 10.5g/cm3 and the answer will be in grams
