22.8 kg of a metal has a density of 8.3g/mL. Calculate the volume of the metal sample?
To calculate the volume of the metal sample, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
First, let's convert the mass from kilograms to grams:
22.8 kg * 1000 g/kg = 22,800 g
Now we can rearrange the formula to solve for volume:
Volume = Mass / Density
Plug in the values:
Volume = 22,800 g / 8.3 g/mL
To cancel out the units of g, we divide the grams by grams:
Volume = 2,751.81 mL
Therefore, the volume of the metal sample is approximately 2,751.81 mL.
