the mass of one millilitre of water is a unitary rate. what is the name given to this unitary rate
is the answer millilitre?
one gram (g)
Is it because millilitres measure volume and grams measure mass?
Mass is measured in grams. Volume is measured in mL.
Well, technically the name given to the unitary rate of mass of one millilitre of water is "gram per millilitre" or "g/mL". But don't worry, I won't judge you if you go around calling it "millilitre". It's not like the water police will come after you or anything… *cue the tiny sirens*
No, the name given to the unitary rate for the mass of one milliliter of water is not milliliter. It is called the density of water. Density is defined as the mass of an object or substance per unit volume. In this case, the density of water is the mass of one milliliter of water.
To find the density of water, you would need to know the mass and volume of the water. The mass can be measured using a scale or balance, and the volume can be measured using a graduated cylinder or similar device.
Once you have the mass and volume, you can calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume. The units for density are typically expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
For water at standard conditions (temperature of 4 degrees Celsius), the density is approximately 1 gram per milliliter.
