Question

A urine sample has a mass of 147 g and a density of 1.020 g/mL. What is the volume of this sample?

Answer 1

So we know that the equation for density is:

`D=(m)/(V)`

where D is the density, m is the mass in grams, and V is the volume in mL.

So since we know two of the variables, mass and density, we can solve for the volume:

`(1.020g)/(mL)=(147g)/(V)`

`V=(147g)/((1.020g)/(mL))`

`V=144.12mL`

Therefore, the volume of this urine sample is 144.12mL.
