Chemistry density

Question

Gasoline has a density of 0.74 g/cm3. How many liters of gasoline would be required to increase the mass of an automobile from 1271 kg to 1305 kg?

Answer 1

1305 kg - 1271 kg = 34 kg

Thus, 34 kg of gasoline is needed to increase the mass of the automobile from 1271 kg to 1305 kg. Using our 34 kg of gasoline and our density:

34 kg x (1000 g/1 kg) x (1 cm³/0.74 g) x (1 mL/1 cm³) x (1 L/1000 mL) =

45.95 L
