Answer:

International Bureau of Weights and Measures have the standard bar for one meter length and it is made up of the platinium-iridium alloy. As these are metals so they have the thermal expansion. So the length of the bar depends upon the temperature. Temperature changes can effect the length of the standard bar. That's reason behind keeping the bar at the constant temperature as the change in temperature will result in the change of length.

jek_recluse [69]
<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. We calculate as follows:

</span><span>Volume = 60.0 g ( 1 mL / 0.70 g ) = 85.71 mL

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.</span>
