Question

A quantity of water is poured into a graduated cylinder, which then reads 137 mL. What is the mass of the water in kilograms?answer in ____ kg

Answer 1

0.137 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Volume (V) = 137 mL

We can determine the mass knowing the density of water, we calculate the mass like this:

`\begin{gathered} \rho_(water)=1\text{ g/mL} \\ \\ \rho=(m)/(V) \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ 1=(m)/(137) \\ \\ m=137\cdot1 \\ \\ m=137\text{ g}\cdot\frac{1\text{ kg}}{1000} \\ \\ m=0.137\text{ kg} \end{gathered}`

The mass of water is 0.137 kg
