Question

How many milliliters of olive oil (D=0.92 g/mL) have the same mass as 1.80 L of gasoline (D= .74 g/mL)

Answer 1

1448 mL

Explanation:

The mass is the same.

Formula

m = d*V

Givens

Olive Oil

d = 0.92 grams / mL

V = ??

Gasoline

d = 0.74 grams / mL

V = 1.8 L = 1.8 L * (1000 ml / L)

V = 1800 mL

Solution

0.74 * 1800 mL = 0.92 * x Divide both sides by 0.92

0.74/0.92 * 1800 mL = 0.92 *x / 0.92 Combine the left

0.8043 * 1800 mL = x

x = 1448 mL

The volume of Olive Oil needed is 1448 mL
