Answer to Question #95205 in General Chemistry for Terrence Huang

Question

You wish to buy enough honey to fill a 4.49 quart honey jar. At the grocery story you find that honey costs $3.00 per kilogram and it has a density of 1.50 grams per milliliter. How much will it cost in $ to buy enough honey to fill your 4.49 quart jar? (1 qt = 946 mL)

Answer 1

First we should calculate the volume of honey required:

$V(honey, mL) = 4.49qt*946\frac{mL}{qt}=4248mL$

Now, using density we should found a mass of the honey required:

$M(honey, g)=4248mL*1.50\frac{g}{mL}=6372g(6.372kg)$

And now, it is the right time to found the price for the honey:

$P(honey, dollar)=6.372kg*3.00\frac{dollar}{kg}=19.12dollars$

Thus, we need 19 dollars and 12 cents to fill the jar with the honey.
