Answer to Question #155027 in General Chemistry for M

Question

A tank measuring 28.6 cm by 73 mm by .72 m is filled with olive oil and a mass of 1.38 x 10^4 grams. How many grams in a 28 Liter container?

Answer 1

volume of container = 28.6 * 7.3 *7.2 cm³ = 1,503.22 cm³ = 1.503 L (1000 cm³ = 1L)

mass of the oil in container = 13.8 kg

by unitary method,

1L of olive oil will weigh 9.2 kg

Therefore, 28 L of olive oil will weigh 257.6 kg
