What is the density of an object having a mass of 88.0 centigrams and a volume of 0.001 KL? Provide standard view value (correct SF) and units.

Answer 1

Density = mass/volume

mass = 88 centigrams

volume = 0.001 kL

Density = 88 centigrams/0.001KL = 88,000 centigrams/KL = 90,000 centigrams/KL (1 sig. fig.)

If you want to report this is more conventional units (g/ml), then you would have

mass = 88 centigrams x 1 g/100 centigrams = 0.88 g

volume = 0.001 kilo liters x 1000 Liter/kilo liter = 1 L x 1000 ml/L = 1000 ml

Density = 0.88 g/1000 ml = 0.088 g/ml = 0.09 g/ml
