Question

Calculate the volume of 42.0 kg of a substance whose density is 8.96 g/mL. Express your answer in milliliters using the correct number of significant figures. Do not enter your answer using scientific notation.

Answer 1

4687.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the density of the substance = 8.96 g/mL

Mass = 42.0 kg

The conversion of kg into g is shown below as:

1 kg = 1000 g

So, mass = 42.0 × 1000 g = 42000 g

Volume = ?

So, volume:

`Volume=\frac {{Mass}}{Density}`

`Volume=\frac {42000\ g}{8.96\ g/mL}`

The volume of the 42.0 kg of the substance = 4687.5 mL
