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:


`(125mL)/(1)* (1L)/(1000mL) * (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* 10^(-3)kL`.

Step-by-step 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=(0.001)/(1)* 125=0.125L`

`1L=0.001kL`

Thus
`0.125L=(0.001)/(1)* 0.125=0.125* 10^(-3)kL`

Thus the volume in kilo Liters would be
`0.125* 10^(-3)`.
