Question

. By mistake, 1000.0 cm^3 of oil was dumped into a pond with a surface area of 850.0 m². The density of the oil was 0.850 g/cm². How thick was the resulting oil slick? Remember to use significant figures and scientific notation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

First, convert 850.0 m^2 to cm^2 to match the volume of oil. It would come out to 8,500,000 cm^2. Now set up V=lwh (length times width times height). You are looking for thickness, which is height.

1000.0cm^3 = (8.500*10^6 cm^2)(h)

1000.0/(8.500*10^6) = h

Explanation: I hope this help :)
