Question

A waste collection tank can hold 18,754 ?

Answer 1

Density = mass / Volume
Volume = mass / density
= (18,754 kg) / (0.788 g/cm^3)
= 23,800 kcm^3
= 23,800 × 10^3 cm^3

Answer 2

The volume of the waste collection tank is
`2.38* 10^7 cm^3`.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

`\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}`

We are given:

Density of methanol=
`d = 0.788  g/cm^3`

Mass of methanol= 18,754 kg = 18,754,000 g( 1 kg = 1000 g)

Volume of the methanol = V

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`0.788 g/cm^3=(18,754,000 g)/(V)`

`V=(18,754,000 g)/(0.788  g/cm^3)`

`V=23,799,492.38 cm^3=2.38* 10^7 cm^3`

V = Volume of the methanol = Volume of waste collection tank

The volume of the waste collection tank is
`2.38* 10^7 cm^3`.
