Question

500 grams of sugar occupies a volume of a 0.315 liters whats the density of the sugar in grams per milliliter

Answer 1

Density of Sugar is 1.59 grams per milliliter.

Explanation:

The answer is required to be given in grams per milliliter.

So we should first convert the values to match the units.

Sugar is given as 500 grams so we don't need to change the units.

Volume is given in liters. So we need to change it to milliliters.

There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter.

Therefore,

`0.315` liters =
`0.315*1000` milliliters

=
`315` milliliters

Density of Sugar = {Number of grams of Sugar/ Volume of the Solvent]

=500 grams / 315 milliliters

=1.59 grams per milliliter (Answer is given to 2 decimal places)
