Question

The density of octane is 0.700 g/cm3.  What is the mass of one liter of octane?

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 700 g

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

Density of octane = 0.700 g/cm³

Volume = 1 L

Mass = ?

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

First of all we will convert the volume in cm³ because density is given in g/cm³ unit.

1 L = 1000 cm³

Now we will put the values in formula:

d= m/v

m = v × d

m = 1000 cm³ × 0.700 g/cm³

m = 700 g
