Question

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate the mass of helium that it would take to fill the balloon

Answer 1

1.1 x 10-3 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

the density of He is 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL
In other words in 1 mL there's 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g of He.
To fill a volume of 6.3 L the mass of He required
= 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL * 6300 mL
= 11 277 * 10⁻⁴ g
Therefore mass of He required = 1.1277 g of He
