Question

Use the volume measured for the 90-drop data and calculate the volume (mL) for each drop of water. Set up a dimensional analysis.

Given: 90 drops = 4.5mL

Answer 1

Each drop of water has a volume of 0.05 mL when calculated from the given data that 90 drops equal 4.5 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves performing a calculation to determine the volume in milliliters for each drop of water when it is given that 90 drops = 4.5mL. We can use the volume measured for the 90-drop data and perform a dimensional analysis to find the volume of a single drop.

To calculate the volume (mL) for each drop of water, we set up a ratio based on the provided data:

• 90 drops = 4.5 mL

Then, we need to solve for the volume of 1 drop, which can be done by dividing the total volume by the number of drops:

V_{drop} = 4.5 mL/90 drops

When we carry out the division, we find:

V_{drop} = 0.05 mL/drop

Therefore, each drop of water has a volume of 0.05 mL according to the given data.
