What is th mass in kg for a 10cm3 cube of ice?
To determine the mass of a 10 cm3 cube of ice, we need to know the density of ice. The density of ice is approximately 0.92 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) or 0.92 kilograms per liter (kg/L).
To convert cubic centimeters to liters, we divide by 1000 (since 1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters).
So, for a 10 cm3 cube of ice:
Volume = 10 cm3 = 10/1000 L = 0.01 L
Next, we can use the density formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Rearranging the formula, we can solve for mass:
Mass = Density * Volume
Substituting the values:
Mass = 0.92 kg/L * 0.01 L
Multiplying these values together, we find that the mass of the 10 cm3 cube of ice is:
Mass ≈ 0.0092 kg
