A Texas Aggie buys 12 cans of dehydrated water. The cans weigh an average of 63.46g each before the dehydrated water is removed. If the density of pure distilled water is 0.9979 g/mL and each can has a volume of 3.154L, what is the total mass of the cans AFTER the removal of the dehydrated water?
Can someone please help me on this? Thanks
Someone is pulling your leg. Dehydrated means without water.
So, the answer will be 63.46 or do I multiply that number by 12?
The questions asks for the total mass; therefore, multiply by 12 for 12 cans.
To find the total mass of the cans after the removal of the dehydrated water, you need to multiply the average weight of each can (63.46g) by the total number of cans (12):
Total mass = Average weight per can * Number of cans
= 63.46g * 12
= 761.52g
Therefore, the total mass of the cans after the removal of the dehydrated water is 761.52 grams.
