Question

Calculate the volume of 1.0 kg of a substance whose density is 19.32 g/mL. Express your answer in milliliters using the correct number of significant figures. Do not enter your answer using scientific notation.

Answer 1

Density = mass/volume so Volume = mass/density

But to use the equation, we need the units to match so 1 kg = 1000g making our equation:

V = 1000/19.32 = 52 mL (2 sig figs)
