What is the density (g/ml) of an object having a mass of 22.0 grams and a volume of 200.0 decaliters? Provide standard view value (correct SF) and units.

Answer 1

Hi, Brody,

The problem asks to find the density in units of g/ml.

So, first, let's convert the decaliters into ml. Use these conversion factors:

1 decaliter = 10 Liters

1 Liter = 1000 ml

Then convert: 200 daL * 10 L/daL * 1000 ml/1 L = 2E+06 ml

To get the density, simply divide the 22.0 grams by the volume: 22.0g/(2E+06)ml = 1.10E-05 g/ml. There are three significant digits (from the 22.0 grams).
