Find the volume in liters.
6.5kg of a substance with a density of 7.96g/mL
Im confused about how it would come out in liters.. if the mass is in kg and the density is in g/mL
density is 7.96 g/mL
mass = volume x density
volume = mass/density
volume = 6,500 g/7.96g*mL^-1 = ?? mL.
Then convert mL to L.
To find the volume in liters, you need to convert the given units of mass and density into compatible units. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Convert the mass from kilograms (kg) to grams (g):
1 kg = 1000 g
Therefore, 6.5 kg = 6.5 * 1000 = 6500 g
Step 2: Use the formula for density to find the volume:
Density = Mass / Volume
Since the density is given as 7.96 g/mL and the mass is 6500 g, we can rearrange the formula to solve for volume:
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 6500 g / 7.96 g/mL
Step 3: Convert the volume from milliliters (mL) to liters (L):
1 L = 1000 mL
Therefore, to convert mL to L, divide the volume by 1000.
Volume (in L) = (6500 g / 7.96 g/mL) / 1000
Calculating the above expression will give you the volume in liters.
