Question

A freighter ship carrying a cargo of uranium hexafluoride sank in the English Channel in late August 1984. The cargo of uranium hexafluoride weighed 7.51 x 104 kg and contained 1.47 x 106 L of UF6. What is the density, in g/mL, of uranium hexafluoride?

Your
a) 0.0511 g/mL
b)1.53 g/mL
c)5.11 g/mL
d)2.25 g/mL
e)0.196 g/mL

Answer 1

Answer: A.) 0.0511 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of uranium hexafluoride = 7.51 x 10⁴kg

Volume of uranium hexafluoride = 1.47 x 10^6 L

Density of uranium hexafluoride in g/mL

Mass in g = (7.51 x 10⁴) * 1000 = 7.51 × 10^7

Volume in mL :

1 L = 1000 mL

1.47 x 10^6L = (1.47 x 10^6)×1000 = 1.47 x 10^9 mL

Density = mass / volume

Density = 7.51 × 10^7 g / 1.47 x 10^9 mL

Density = 5.1088435 × 10^7-9

Density = 5.1088435 × 10^-2 g/mL

= 0.0510884

Density = 0.0511 g/mL
