Question

An iceberg has a volume of 0.1642 ML. What is the mass of the ice(in kg) composing the iceberg( at 0o C)? The density of ice at 0o C is 0.917g/cm^3

Answer 1

1.5x10¯⁴Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Volume = 0.1642mL = 0.1642cm³

Density = 0.917g/cm³

Mass =.?

The Density of a substance is simply defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it is represented as:

Density = Mass /volume

With the above formula, we can calculate the mass of the ice as follow:

0.917 = Mass / 0.1642

Cross multiply

Mass = 0.917 x 0.1642

Mass = 0.151g

Finally, we shall convert 0.1506g to kg. This is illustrated below:

1000g = 1k

Therefore, 0.151g = 0.151/1000 = 1.5x10¯⁴Kg
