Question

Can someone pls explain this to be step by step:

The density of a substance is 1.03g/cm? What would be the density in mg/mm'?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this by doing dimensional analysis.

The first step is to change grams to mg

1000 mg = 1 gram

So the fraction will look like this

1.03 g * 1000 mg/ 1 gram = 1030 mg (the grams cancel out)

Now move onto the volume. The volume is actually 1 cm^3. This becomes 1 cm^3 / 1000 mm^3

So the answer becomes

1030 mg / cm^3 * ( 1 cm^3/1000 mm^3) The cm^3 cancel out

1030 mg / 1000 mm^3

1.030 mg/ mm^3
