Question

A sample of water fills a graduated cylinder 63 ml. How much space would this water occupy in dm3

Answer 1

Given :

Volume of water , V = 63 ml .

To Find :

The volume of the water in
`dm^3` .

Solution :

We know , 1 ml of water is equal to
`1 \ cm^3` .

So , 63 ml of water is :

`V=63 \ cm^3` .... equation 1 .

Now , 1 cm = 0.1 dm

Putting value of 1 cm in equation 1 .

We get ,

`V=63* (0.1\ dm)^3\\V=63* 10^(-3)\ dm^3\\V=6.3* 10^(-2)\ dm^3`

Therefore , the volume of 63 ml water in
`dm^3` is
`6.3* 10^(-2)\ dm^3` .

Hence , this is the required solution .
