Question

What volume in kiloliters will a sample of Bay water occupy if it has a volume of 125 ml?

Answer 1

This question is basically asking us to convert the volume from mL to kL.

We can do this by setting up a multiplication problem and cancelling out units:

$\frac{125mL}{1}* \frac{1L}{1000mL} * \frac{1kL}{1000L} =1.25* 10^{-4}kL$

So now we know that the Bay water will occupy 1.25x10^-4 kL.

Answer 2

Answer: $0.125\times 10^{-3}kL$.

Explanation:

Volume of the gas is defined as the space occupied by a substance. It is expressed in units like $cm^3$, $m^3$ , L and ml.

All these units of volume are inter convertible.

We are given:

Volume of the gas = $125ml$

Converting this unit of volume into 'L' by using conversion factor:

$1ml=0.001L$

$125ml=\frac{0.001}{1}\times 125=0.125L$

$1L=0.001kL$

Thus $0.125L=\frac{0.001}{1}\times 0.125=0.125\times 10^{-3}kL$

Thus the volume in kilo Liters would be $0.125\times 10^{-3}$.
