Question

The density of blood is 1.05 kg/m3, find the mass of a bag of blood for a transfusion, if the volume is 1.5 m3.

Answer 1

Mass of the bag of blood is 1.575 kg.

Given:

Density = 1.05
`(kg)/(m^(3) )`

Volume = 1.5
`m^(3)`

To find:

mass = ?

Formula used:

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Solution:

Density is given by,

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Thus,

mass = volume × density

mass = 1.5 × 1.05

mass = 1.575 kg

Mass of the bag of blood is 1.575 kg.
