The density of a liquid is 8.03 × 10^-1 kilogram per liter. What is the mass (in kg) of liquid in a full 100,000 liter tank?

Question

The density of a liquid is 8.03 × 10-1 kilogram per liter. What is the mass (in kg) of liquid in a full 100,000 liter tank?

Answer 1

Multiply the density by the volume to get mass.

 

mass  = density x volume = (8.03 x 10^-1 kg/L) (100,000 L) = 8.03 x 10⁴ kg = 80,300 kg
