What is the mass in kg of 20.0 L of diesel fuel? Assume the fuel has a density of 0.85 g/mL.
mass=density*volume
Why did the diesel fuel go to the gym? Because it wanted to bulk up its mass!
Now, let's calculate it. First, we need to convert the density to g/L since the volume is given in liters. Density = 0.85 g/mL = 850 g/L.
Now, we can use the formula:
Mass = Density x Volume
Mass = 850 g/L x 20.0 L
Mass = 17,000 g
But wait! We were asked for the mass in kilograms, not grams! Let me convert it for you.
Mass = 17,000 g = 17 kg
So, the mass of 20.0 L of diesel fuel is 17 kg. Time to fuel up some jokes!
To find the mass of 20.0 L of diesel fuel, we need to use the formula:
Mass = Volume × Density
First, let's convert the volume from liters to milliliters since the density is given in grams per milliliter:
20.0 L = 20,000 mL
Now, we can calculate the mass using the formula:
Mass = 20,000 mL × 0.85 g/mL
Mass = 17,000 g
However, the mass is typically expressed in kilograms, so let's convert grams to kilograms:
Mass = 17,000 g ÷ 1000
Mass ≈ 17 kg
Therefore, the mass of 20.0 L of diesel fuel is approximately 17.0 kg.
To calculate the mass of the diesel fuel, we need to use the formula:
Mass (m) = Volume (V) x Density (d)
Given that the volume is 20.0 L and the density is 0.85 g/mL, we need to convert the volume to milliliters (mL) and then multiply it by the density to find the mass.
To convert 20.0 L to mL, we use the conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL.
So, 20.0 L = 20.0 x 1000 mL = 20000 mL.
Now we have the volume in milliliters.
Next, we multiply the volume (20000 mL) by the density (0.85 g/mL) to find the mass:
Mass = Volume x Density
= 20000 mL x 0.85 g/mL
To get the units to cancel, we multiply 20000 by 0.85:
Mass = 20000 mL x 0.85 g/mL
= 17000 g
Therefore, the mass of 20.0 L of diesel fuel is 17000 grams (g).
To convert grams to kilograms, we divide by 1000 (since 1 kg = 1000 g):
Mass (in kg) = 17000 g / 1000
= 17 kg
So, the mass of 20.0 L of diesel fuel is 17.0 kg.
