Show the work explained in class to determine the answers to the following problems:
1 mile = 1.61 km , 12 in = 1 ft , 1cm3 = 1 mL 3.785 L = 1 gal 454g = 1lb
1) A substance has a density of 3.04 g/ml, how many kg does it weigh if the substance has a volume of 425mL?
2) What is the volume of a solid ( in gallons) that has a mass of 1.57kg if the density is 0.291 g/cm3?
3) A substance has a density of 0.410 g/ml, how many mg does it weigh if the substance has a volume of 2.1L?
4) A substance has a density of 12.1 g/ml, how many lbs does it weigh if the substance has a volume of 7.42L?
5) Not a density question. What is the thickness (in cm) of a rectangular solid that has a volume of 4.37m3 that has a length of 574cm and a width of 2.10m?
6) Which substances from the problems above (use the question # as reference) would float on water and why? (Hint density of water is 1.00g/ml)
Answer:
1) 1.29 kg
2) 1.43 gal
3) 8.6E5 gal
4) 198 lb
5) 36.3 cm
6) Will discuss in class
