Answer to Question #150580 in General Chemistry for keren

Question

How many cubic centimeters of olive oil have the same mass as 0.264 gallons of gasoline? Olive oil: 0.92 g/mL and gasoline: 0.74 g/mL 1 Gal= 3.785 Liters

Answer 1

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a particle with its volume. Therefore;

Density = mass / volume

Mass = volume × density

$=0.74g/ml × 999.24 ml \newline = 739.44 grams\newline volume of olive oil =739.44 grams ÷0.92g/ml\newline = 803.74 ml.$
