Question

A hot air balloon ride requires 56 liters of propane. Propane in a tank has a

density of 493 grams per liter. Calculate the mass, in grams, of propane used in a
balloon ride.

Answer 1

27608g

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mass of propane used in a balloon ride, we can multiply the density of propane by the volume of propane required.

Given:

Density of propane = 493 grams per liter

Volume of propane required = 56 liters

Mass of propane = Density × Volume

Substituting the given values:

Mass of propane = 493 g/L × 56 L

Calculating the result:

Mass of propane = 27,608 grams

Therefore, the mass of propane used in the balloon ride is 27,608 grams.
